Eden Hazard 'on verge of Real Madrid move'

Eden Hazard's move from Chelsea to Real Madrid could reportedly be finalised 'in the coming days'.

Hazard has been strongly linked with a move to the Bernabeu throughout the 2018-19 campaign.

The 28-year-old has scored 19 times and contributed 12 assists in 44 appearances for the London club this season but will see his contract expire in June 2020 and is unlikely to pen an extension.

According to Marca, Madrid are nearing the capture of the Belgium international, with a move to Spain expected to be completed 'in the coming days'.

The report claims that the signing of Hazard - valued at £100m - was the first thing that Zinedine Zidane requested upon his return to the European champions as head coach.

Madrid landed another Club World Cup in the latter stages of 2018, but they fell at the last-16 stage of the Champions League and currently sit 13 points off Barcelona in La Liga.
