EDEN HAZARD is on the verge of agreeing personal terms with Real Madrid, it has been claimed.

Chelsea star Hazard has been targeted by Real boss Zinedine Zidane as he looks to overhaul his squad at the Bernabeu.

Zidane wants the brilliant Belgian to move to Spain this summer - but Chelsea have still not agreed to sell their star player.

They are holding out for a bid of £100million before they do business, aware that Hazard only has one more year on his current deal with the club.

Now the have claimed Hazard is inching towards finalising his contract with the Spanish giants to set up his summer move.

They say the player's advisers have been locked in lengthy talks with Real over the past few weeks aimed at thrashing out a deal.

DOMINATED

And it is claimed an agreement is now almost done which would pave the way for the Belgiam captain to move to La Liga over the close season.

Hazard's future has dominated that final few months of the current campaign, with Chelsea becoming increasingly aware they will not be able to get him to sign a new deal.

SunSport revealed last week how the club struck a gentlemen's agreement to stay for one more season last summer and they would not stand in his way of leaving this time round.

Hazard and his team have been reminding the Blues of this over the past month, although Chelsea's position is they will only sell if the right money was paid.

The playmaker last night admitted he doesn't know if he will be playing for the club at Stamford Bridge again, following the Europa League semi-final win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
