Chelsea will refuse to sell Eden Hazard to Real Madrid for anything less than £100m, according to a report.
The Belgian forward's expected switch to the Bernabeu appears to have hit a snag as Madrid are supposedly unwilling to match Chelsea's asking price.
Hazard is pushing for a move to the Spanish capital, though, hinting again this week that he will see out the next month at Stamford Bridge and then finalise his "dream" switch to Los Blancos.
However, the Daily Star claims that the Blues have no intention of backing down from their nine-figure valuation, which they believe still represents good value for Madrid, despite the 28-year-old having just a year left to run on his deal.
Monday's double against West Ham United, including a goal-of-the-season contender to open the scoring in Chelsea's 2-0 win, leaves Hazard with a combined 28 goals and assists in the Premier League this season - officially his best-ever season in front of goal.
Maurizio Sarri admitted this week that his side cannot afford to lose Hazard, but Chelsea will reluctantly sell should Madrid agree to pay up.
