It seems that London's "Chelsea" is preparing to say goodbye to the team's star Eden Hazard this summer.
It has been known for a while that E. Hazard wants to move to Madrid's "Real" club. Negotiations for his transfer to the Spanish capital took place last summer, but at that time "Chelsea" asked for so much that Madrid's "Real" simply abandoned their plans.
This time the situation is different - the Belgian refuses to extend his contract with "Chelsea", which ends in 2020. Only a year will be left by the end of summer, so "Chelsea" will no longer be able to take risks and will have to reduce the requested amount.
"Daily Telegraph" claims that "Chelsea" values the Belgian at 100 million pounds sterling. If Madrid's "Real" knocks on the "Blues'" door with this amount in the summer, nothing will stop E. Hazard from leaving.
However, it is emphasized that E. Hazard can still change his mind, as Madrid's "Real" must inform him by the end of this month whether they will try to acquire him in the summer.
It is also added that Mateo Kovacic may not return to Madrid in the summer, as he could be included in the deal for E. Hazard.
The same source highlights that Madrid's "Real" is also eyeing London's "Tottenham" midfielder Christian Eriksen, who has been on the Spanish club's radar for a number of years.
