Official Plan to Unveil Hazard at Real Madrid Leaked
REAL MADRID will unveil Eden Hazard after the Europa League final later this month, signing him for a fee of around €100m (£86m).
And it now looks like a transfer is imminent, if new reporting in France is anything to go by.
That’s because L’Equipe are today(Monday) reporting that a €100m (£86m) deal has been agreed, with Madrid waiting until after the Europa League final on May 29 to formally announce it.
Hazard himself will also be playing in the competition whether he remains at Stamford Bridge or not, after the Blues secured a third-place finish in the Premier League at the weekend.
Speaking after the 0-0 draw with Leicester, the Belgian was again pressed on whether he would remain at the club.
“We have a final to play and then I will see,” said Hazard.
“It has never been a distraction.
Speculation surrounding Hazard’s future comes as:
“When you are on the pitch, you try to be focused on the pitch with the ball. That’s it.
‘When I am on the pitch I just try to do the best. I am not thinking about this and this, my situation or the club’s situation.
“I just try to win games.”
But Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri admits he is powerless when it comes to keeping Hazard at the club, insisting fans much respect his wishes.
