Real Madrid will double Eden Hazard's wages to £400,000-a-week when his long-awaited move to the Spanish capital comes to fruition - and it could all be confirmed within the next 24 hours.
Hazard is out of contract at Chelsea next summer, and his pending move to Real has been one of football's worst-kept secrets in recent months, as Zinedine Zidane is keen to make the forward a centre-piece of his new-look side next season.
Any hopes Chelsea had of retaining the 28-year-old were well and truly buried when he said his goodbyes after lifting the Europa League, and a new report from the Evening Standard indicates that the countdown is now on.
