Chelsea star Eden Hazard determined to make Real Madrid transfer

Zinedine Zidane’s arrival at Real Madrid has strengthened Eden Hazard’s resolve to leave Chelsea this summer, reports say.

Real approached Chelsea about signing Hazard in the days before Zidane’s return to the club and the Belgian is set to double down on his demand to exit Stamford Bridge.

The Guardian claim Zidane’s appointment has convinced Hazard he belongs at Real playing under the coach he idolised as a youngster.

Zidane will have a £300million war chest to spend at the end of the season and is planning the addition of at least two major stars.

Chelsea blocked Hazard’s attempts to join Real last summer, but did allow Thibaut Courtois to make the move to Los Blancos.

Hazard has a year left on his current deal at Chelsea and has continually dropped hints he is unwilling to sign a new long-term deal.
