Report: Chelsea star Hazard to join Real Madrid for monster fee

It looks inevitable that Eden Hazard will leave Chelsea this European summer.

According to French publication L'Equipe, Hazard will join Spanish giants Real Madrid for around €100m ($161m) after the Europa League Final.

In what could be the Belgian’s final game for the club, the Blues face London rivals Arsenal on May 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Speaking after Chelsea’s final Premier League game against Leicester City on Sunday, the 28-year-old revealed he has made a decision on his future.

"I have made my decision, but it is not just about me," Hazard said.

"I told the club a couple of weeks ago.

"I wanted it to be cleared up earlier but that's not happened. I'm still waiting, like the fans are waiting.

"We have a final to play and then I will see. It has never been a distraction. When you are on the pitch, you try to be focused on the pitch with the ball. That's it."

Hazard has enjoyed a trophy-laden spell in west London, winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup and Europa League crown.

The winger has one year remaining on his contract having joined from Ligue 1 side Lille for £32m in 2012.
