Real Madrid closing in on Hazard

Roman Abramovich prepared to cut his losses on the Belgian

According to reports, Chelsea are set to sell Eden Hazard to Real Madrid for a price of £20 million this summer.

The Belgium international winger was named as the Premier League’s Player of the Season last term, but during this campaign he has scored just the one goal – a penalty in the recent 5-1 victory at MK Dons in the FA Cup.

When he appeared on Spanish television show El Chiringuito de Jugones, journalist Eduardo Inda made claims that Madrid were in advanced talks with the Blues over a possible move for Hazard.

These rumours have emerged since the 25-year old admitted to the Guardian that he felt guilty for playing a pivotal part in Jose Mourinho’s sacking.
