Eden Hazard ‘agrees Real Madrid transfer worth £14.5m-a-year’ from Chelsea… but will have to wait until summer
Belgian looks set to seal dream Santiago Bernabeu move at end of the season
EDEN HAZARD has reportedly agreed a mammoth contract with Real Madrid.
Sport claims the Belgian, 28, will leave Chelsea this summer after striking terms on a deal potentially worth £14.5million-a-year.
It’s said that Hazard has negotiated a contract worth £11.5m-a-year, which works out at around £220,000-a-week.
That’s only £20,000-a-week more than he currently earns at Chelsea, showing his desire to swap London for the Spanish capital.
But Hazard could end up pocketing up to £3m each season in bonuses should Real win La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.
It means the superstar is set to see out the rest of the season under Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge, with a top four finish the target.
And with just 18 months remaining on his current contract, Hazard is now on the verge of sealing his dream move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Chelsea have already landed a replacement in Borussia Dortmund’s Christian Pulisic.
And they will now be forced to negotiate a fee for Hazard as they look to strengthen other areas of the squad.
Hazard has scored 101 goals in 328 appearances for Chelsea following a move from Lille in 2012, winning two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, one Carabao Cup and one Europa League in the process.
