Chelsea offer “astronomical” contract for Hazard to sign new deal

According to Don Balon, Chelsea are lining up an audacious contract offer to convince Eden Hazard to stay at Stamford Bridge, amid interest from Real Madrid.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is desperate to keep the 27-year-old and will make him the club’s highest earner to tie him down to a long-term contract.

Hazard joined the Blues from LOSC Lille back in 2012 and has gone on to make 285 appearances in all competitions. The Belgian international has become one of the best players in Europe, contributing 105 goals in 161 Premier League games, so it’s not hard to see why Real Madrid would want to sign him.
