Chelsea transfer news: Eden Hazard to Real Madrid takes dramatic twist – EXCLUSIVE

Belgian ace , 27, had encouraged the Spanish giants to sign him during the World Cup Finals – but the two clubs remain poles apart with their valuations.

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 want more than the £198m that took Brazilian superstar Neymar from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

Real’s top brass feel that is just too much for a player who has only two years left to run on his current contract – which is why they have reluctantly decided to give up on their pursuit.

Hazard is set to be offered the Chelsea captaincy as bosses look to persuade him to agree to the biggest contract in the club’s history.
