Chelsea set a price tag for Real Madrid target Eden Hazard
With Eden Hazard shying away from Chelsea’s contract offers, it seems imminent that the forward will be playing at Real Madrid from 2019/20.
Chelsea winger Eden Hazard enters the final one year of his contract in west London at the end of this season. The Belgium international already has a contract on the table at the Stamford Bridge which is only missing of his signatures, but it looks like he is going to be moving on at the end of this season with Real Madrid interested.

Eden Hazard is currently enjoying a blockbuster season in the Premier League and has scored 10 goals in the league, and also to not forget, he has provided 10 assists as well. So definitely Real Madrid will be regretting the fact that they did not make a move for him last summer, but they are certainly going to make an approach in the upcoming one.
Chelsea have now signed Christian Pulisic and told the Merengues about the price tag which they have set for Eden Hazard’s services. As per the Mirror UK, the Blues will not be willing to listen to anything below 100 million pounds for him even when it means that Hazard could leave for free in the summer of 2020 once his contract expires.
Real Madrid could be willing to give Mateo Kovacic or Isco as part of the deal in addition to cash, so eventually they might not need to open their cheque book for an amount payable of Chelsea’s demands. Moreover, Gareth Bale is probably going to ask for a transfer in the summer. The Wales international has failed to meet demands and injuries aren’t being kind either.
That being said, in an inflated market, Real Madrid could still be the beneficiary if they manage to snap onto Eden Hazard’s services at Chelsea’s asking price of 100 million pounds. In addition to that, Gareth Bale could help them earn somewhere in the range of 60 million pounds and if Kovacic is to go permanently as well, then nothing like it in confirming the deal.

With Karim Benzema playing as the striker if Real Madrid fail to bring one to follow up on Hazard, the former Lille winger is bound to be successful. The Frenchman is absolutely unselfish and despite playing as the central forward on paper, he usually supplies the wingers with a lot of creativity by playing just behind them.
