Real Madrid agree on deal to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea on five-year contract. Reported amount is said to be around $114M
Real president Florentino Perez said last month that they tried to sign Hazard on several occasions while coach Zinedine Zidane is a long-time admirer of the Belgian, who he named as a “star of the future” in 2010 when Hazard was playing for Lille.
The 28-year-old joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012 for $41 million and won the Europa League in his first season. He also won the Premier League title in 2015 and in 2017 as well as one League Cup and the FA Cup. “Chelsea and especially Chelsea fans will always be special to me and next season I will look for your results first,” Hazard added.
Hazard is Real’s third major signing as they bid to rebuild their squad after an embarrassing campaign on all fronts in which they ended up without a trophy, sacked two coaches and finished 19 points adrift of La Liga champions Barcelona.
