Real Madrid are willing to spend £150million to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea, according to the Daily Mail. The Belgian has been one of the best players in the World Cup but Chelsea have not been able to tie him down to a new contract despite offering him a reported wage packet of £300,000-per-week.
The report claims that Real have identified the Belgian attacker as the perfect replacement for Cristiano Renaldo, who ended up joining Juventus from the La Liga giants.
Hazard will be playing in the third-place playoff match between England and Belgium at the World Cup and the Madrid giants believe they can sign the player up despite the Belgian having a couple of years left on his Chelsea contract.
The 27-year-old scored a couple of goals and provided a couple of assists for Belgium at the World Cup. He even scored 17 goals and provided 4 assists for the Blues as we lifted the FA Cup but had a below average Premier League campaign where we finished fifth.
The Belgian still is one of the best in the world, as he has shown in the World Cup and it would be a big blow for us should we lose him.
Hazard could be used really well by Maurizio Sarri and the new manager will have a huge hole to fill in should the Belgian swap London for Madrid.

Keeping him would be the best option for us, however, we should be looking to get more than £150million that is being quoted for one of the best in the world.
