Real Madrid have reportedly decided to make one final offer to sign Chelsea winger Eden Hazard this month.
The European champions are long-term admirers of the Belgium international, but it had appeared that Chelsea had won the battle to keep their star man until at least next summer.
Hazard has suggested that he is committed to representing Chelsea during the current campaign, but according to The Mirror, Real are prepared to make another effort to tempt the Blues into a sale before the end of the August window.
The Spanish giants are yet to find a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, and new boss Julen Lopetegui is keen to bring in a new attacker over the next 10 days.
The report suggests that Real do not realistically expect Chelsea to change their stance regarding Hazard this summer, but are putting in the work to try to convince the 27-year-old to move to the Bernabeu in 2019.
Hazard has less than two years remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
