Chelsea forward Eden Hazard is set to sign for Real Madrid and his move to Los Blancos will be sealed in the coming days.
The three parties - Chelsea, Madrid and the player himself - are close to reaching a total agreement and the Belgium international will soon travel to Madrid, where he will stay for the next six seasons.
As MARCA has learned, Zinedine Zidane gave his approval for the transfer last week after taking into consideration the needs of Madrid's current squad.
The Frenchman is fond of Hazard's skills, including his pace and speed, all characteristics that the current side lack.
Madrid first approached the Blues last summer as they looked to acquire the 28-year-old, but Chelsea asked for 200 million euros and Los Blancos withdrew their interest.

It's only because other clubs will always be a class below Barca and madrid. Only May be, bayern came real closer to them. They have already built there bigger reputations, and it's becoming increasingly difficult task for other clubs to achieve their status and what they did and still doing. They are a dream teams to any world class player.

I agree that he must go where he will play and achieve what he can’t as a Chelsea player. Going as he is doing,Hazard will leave Chelsea a notch down from where he found the club. With him Chelsea has never reached a semi final in the champions league Abby so doing he will never be considered a legend at the club. I feel he played only when he wanted to play,hot one season and very cold the next. This is the best piece of news to hear so far as he turned out from being the best player to a big team distraction. We all sow his replacement the other night. Was there any difference,no,instead although he scored a goal that was by bypassing the striker where as Odoi if he was lucky he should have come off with his own goal and an assist which he did. Had Odoi been playing all along our strikers would have banged in more goals because with him the strikers won’t go looking for balls but balls will be delivered to their feet. My opinion.
