Italian clubs convinced Real Madrid have pre-contract with Hazard

Real Madrid are regarded as favourites for Lille star Eden Hazard in the Italian press.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Hazard has rejected an approach from Inter Milan in recent days as he has already agreed terms over a pre-contract with Real.

Real chief Zinedine Zidane is big fan of Hazard and has driven their pursuit of the Belgian since the start of the season.

A move to Madrid at the end of the current campaign is now expected for Hazard, according to the Italian press.
