Hazard to Real Madrid OFF
Eden Hazard is set to stay at Chelsea after his move to Real Madrid collapsed over their refusal to pay a world-record £200million for him.
Hazard, 27, had encouraged the Spanish giants to sign him after the World Cup – but the two clubs remain poles apart with their valuations.
Express Sport understands Real are willing to pay £150m for Hazard, who has so far refused to sign a £300,000-a-week extension to his deal which runs until 2020.
But Chelsea want more than the £198m that took Brazilian superstar Neymar from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

Ramsey bid
Chelsea are readying a £30million bid for Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey before the transfer window shuts.
Ramsey has one year left on his contract and is yet to reach an agreement on a renewal.
And the Daily Mail say Chelsea are keeping their eye on the negotiations and will make an offer for the 27-year-old.
£90m double deal
Chelsea could spend up to £90million on Juventus duo Gonzalo Higuain and Daniele Rugani.
According to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol, he is “expecting Chelsea to be busy” before the transfer window closes.
“They are getting closer and closer to Daniele Rugani. Juventus are asking for around £40m for the central defender,” Solhekol said.
“Chelsea see him as a long-term replacement for Gary Cahill and David Luiz.
“Gonzalo Higuain is one of their top targets but Juventus want £50million – even though he’s 30.
“New Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri knows Higuain well from his time in Italy.
“Juventus are willing to sell Higuain after signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Chelsea will only move for Higuain if they sell Alvaro Morata. He wants to return to Italy, AC Milan are interested but they don’t want to pay anywhere near Chelsea’s £58m asking price.
“We could have the situation where English clubs sell their players after August 9 because of course Italian clubs can buy from England until August 25.”
