eden for the exit Chelsea transfer news: Blues put £200m price-tag on Eden Hazard as Real Madrid weigh up offer for World Cup star

CHELSEA have slapped a whopping £200million price-tag on Eden Hazard.

The Belgian playmaker made it clear he wants a move to Real Madrid after their World Cup exit to the hands France.

The Spanish side want to land a new Galactico after letting Cristiano Ronaldo leave for Juventus in a £99m deal.

Hazard, 27, is eyed as the ideal replacement and Chelsea are willing to let their main man pursue his dream but only if they receive a world record fee, report the Times.

The Blues believe Hazard is worth more than the £198m Paris Saint-Germain paid Barcelona for Neymar one year ago.


Hazard still has two-years left on his contract and Chelsea have offered him £300-000-a-week to extend his deal at Stamford Bridge.

But knowing that Real Madrid want to bring him to the Bernabeu, Hazard is unlikely to sign meaning Chelsea would need to sell this summer of face the prospect of losing him for a cut-price fee.

After captaining Belgium to third place, Hazard revealed: "After six wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different.

“Certainly after this World Cup. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision - if they want to let me go. You know my preferred destination.”


A lack of Champions League has also influenced Hazard's decision to join the European champions.

If he does move to Real Madrid, team-mate Thibaut Courtois could be following in his footsteps.
The Belgium No1, who was crowned the World Cup Golden Glove winner, has just 12 months left on his contract.


Courtois has also made it clear how he wants to be closer to his family who currently reside in Madrid.
