Eden Hazard put on one of his best performances of the season on Monday evening and helped his team secure an important victory in the English Premier League.
Recently, the media has been talking more not about E. Hazard's actions on the field, but about a possible deal with Real Madrid in the near future.
Reliable sources report that Real Madrid and Chelsea are close to an agreement, and the player himself has already given verbal consent to the Spanish team. The clubs just need to agree on the final transfer fee, which still raises some doubts.
After the match, Maurizio Sarri, who spoke about E. Hazard's future, admitted that Hazard is already halfway in the Real club.
"I am convinced that the club does not want to sell him, but we must respect his decision. He only has one year left on his contract. We will try to convince him to stay here, but it will not be easy," said M. Sarri.
Asked whether £100 million is an adequate amount for E. Hazard, the coach replied: "That is very cheap. We saw the prices in the last transfer window. I think it is very difficult to replace Hazard with another player."
According to reports, Real Madrid is not inclined to pay more than £85 million at the moment.
