Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard close to agreeing move to Real Madrid?

Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard is reportedly close to agreeing a move to Real Madrid.

The Belgium international, who was named PFA Player of the Year last season, has had a campaign to forget so far having scored just the one goal.

Recently, journalist Eduardo Inda told TV show El Chiringuito de Jugones that the Spanish giants and Chelsea are in advanced talks over the transfer of Hazard and that the move will be completed prior to the European Championships this summer.

The reporter added that the fee is expected to be in the region of £20m, which is £12m less than what the Blues parted with when they purchased the midfielder from Lille in the summer of 2012.

It was also claimed that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is behind the decision to sell Hazard because of his lacklustre performances this season.
