Real Madrid are confident of landing Eden Hazard after the Chelsea star admitted he has made a decision on his future.
The Spanish giants have made Hazard their No1 transfer target and are ready to splash £100m to get their man who will have just one year left on his current deal this summer.
It comes as Hazard has admitted he has “made a decision” on his future with growing fears at Chelsea that their No10 wants to leave this summer.
Belgium captain Hazard, 28, has been reluctant to sign a new deal at Chelsea and his last remarks are the clearest hint yet that he could be ready to quit Stamford Bridge.
Hazard, in an interview with RMC for a documentary to be aired on Wednesday, said: “I know what I am going to do. I have made a decision.
Hazard has scored 16 goals this season and current Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has praised him but also claimed that he “is not a leader” and the Belgium star responded by saying he takes no notice of what his managers say.
Despite making strong overtures, Chelsea are no further forward on contract talks even though they are ready to make him the highest paid player in the club’s history.
Hazard has already admitted in the past it would be a “dream” to play for Real Madrid and the Spanish giants want him to spearhead a rebuilding programme at the Bernabeu.
Hazard, talking last year, previously said: "Real Madrid are the best club in the world. I don't want to lie today. It is my dream since I was a kid. I was dreaming about this club.
"We will see. I don't want to talk about this every day, I don't have time. But we will talk about my future soon."

£100m 4 a 28yr old. why not use that money 4 a younger top target like Mbappe or Neymar who would serve them on a long run? well it's not a bad move signing Hazard tho but i hope his good form wont deplete when he gets to his 30s.

Real Madrid will be a dangerous place next year...Hazard is coming in, Probably Neymar or Mbappe to aid Benzema and Vinicius....Bale will pick form by the end and stay...Isco will go...Marcello will be tempted o leave but finally change his mind...the new kids will improve greatly and become very dangerous for any domestic and international opponent...Madrid will be back on track and Finals will be psychological my forgotten...Perez will right his wrong...Gala Madrid!!!!

Should have just sold him for £150 mil in the summer. 100 million for Hazard is disappointing. At least we should try get a swap. Maybe Kovacic + Isco would be fair.....
