MADRID - Real Madrid ended their long pursuit of Eden Hazard on Friday when they agreed to sign the Belgium winger from Chelsea on a five-year contract for a reported 100 million euros , making him their joint-record signing.
“Real Madrid and Chelsea have agreed the transfer for the player Eden Hazard,” the Spanish club said in a statement.The Belgian will be officially presented at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium next Thursday, subject to completing a medical. “I have tried my very best not to distract myself or the team through this difficult period of speculation and media attention, especially the last six months.”
The 28-year-old joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012 for 32 million pounds 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. “I hope that we are drawn against each other in the Champions League next season and every season so we can meet again.”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.
