Chelsea want a world-record fee in excess of £200million if they are to sell Eden Hazard this summer.
Real Madrid remain the favoured destination for Hazard but Chelsea will not sell their star man cheaply and know the price tag will act as a deterrent at this stage of the window.
Hazard he is not pushing for a move and Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri is keen to work with him and Willian, who has missed out on a move to Barcelona.
However, there is growing concern that the Belgian will not extend his contract at Stamford Bridge. He has two years remaining on his current deal but has stalled on signing new terms worth £300,000-a-week.
Chelsea will also have to determine their goalkeeping situation once Real Madrid target Thibaut Courtois returns from holiday.
Alarmingly, Courtois has just one year left on his contract and talks have not restarted since breaking down in May.
They would like Everton's Jordan Pickford as his replacement but Everton have no desire to sell and will consider a new contract for their England international.
Chelsea are continuing talks with Juventus for defenders Daniele Rugani and Matteo Caldara.
They remain keen on Gonzalo Higuain but face competition from AC Milan, who like Chelsea pair Alvaro Morata and Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Morata is likely to leave should Higuain arrive, which would allow for a three-way deal where by Milan back away from the Juventus striker in order to get their hands on the Spaniard.

200M is a fair price for a player like Hazard, if he must leave then that price is right. Hazard would always be a great player no matter the club he plays for. Let the negotiations begin and the rumors follow as usual😁. Keep us posted AF.

Chelsea don't care of what the world will say about the price as long Madrid say Yes we gonna pay it or No we won't buy him... all options is in favour of Chelsea... If Harzad is expensive thn why Madrid should force.... He's Chelsea valuable player and his going nowhere bcoz he's not for sale... LOUD AND CLEAR

He is great player and a pearl for Chelsea. After transfer of Ronaldo the club need to find urgent replacement. Ronaldo was a legend at Real and Eden Hazard is suitable for his replacement. But he doesn't worth 200 million. One more thing he is not a very much known for goal scoring rather he is great dribbler. So for Real Madrid now it's time for Ansensio to rise and showcase his talent. He has done in past, even in last season when Ronaldo was suspend for starting 3 matches of Laliga. Asensio was the main performer and after that most of times he played as a midfielder. So Real it is better to utilize their resources likes of Vincous Jr., Asensio. Give them place first team rather than spending millions of euros foolishly.

I know this is how it will end.You cannot expect Chelsea to part with Hazard that easily. He has being the most consistent for the club since he came from Lille.He will not be replaced for a long time at Standford bridge.No amount of money collected will be enough for Chelsea but at least it will serve as consolation for them and it will go a long way in solving their financial need.

I'm going to agree with you on that 1000% because I feel like United can be a great team look at the players good players and you made a very good point it don't seem like it because of the coach I think United needs a new Coach the man's EGO is killing the squad. do you think he will go next season of things don't work out ?
It's his 3rd season, historically, we all know what happens in Mourinho's 3rd season. I'm praying We can win something, but I think this may be his last season. But who knows? Fortunes do change quickly.
