Report: Real Madrid confident of signing Eden Hazard

Real Madrid are reportedly confident of signing Eden Hazard at the end of the season due to Chelsea's recent struggles under Maurizio Sarri.

The Belgium international is a long-term target for Madrid and he has admitted that he 'dreams' of joining the reigning European champions.

Hazard is due to enter the final year of his contract in the summer, though Chelsea remain reluctant to sell their star player.

However, a report carried by The Mirror suggests that Hazard, along with a number of his teammates, is losing faith in under-fire manager Sarri's methods.

A number of big names are said to be looking to quit Stamford Bridge, and Hazard could force the club's hand by refusing to sign a new deal.

Sarri is under pressure to turn things around after losing 6-0 to Manchester City last weekend, which saw Chelsea drop down to sixth place in the Premier League.
