Chelsea 'fear Real Madrid won't pay full Eden Hazard fee'

Chelsea 'fear Real won't pay full Hazard fee'

Chelsea have allegedly been left doubting whether Real Madrid will fulfil their financial requirements with regards to Eden Hazard.

With just a year left on his contract, Hazard was allowed to leave Stamford Bridge for the Bernabeu last summer in a big-money deal which included a number of add-ons.

According to the Daily Mail, the next installment is due ahead of the next transfer window, a portion of which would be handed to Blues manager Frank Lampard.

However, the report claims that Chelsea fear missing out on the expected income as a result of television broadcasters in Spain failing to pay out to Real.

The knock-on effect could be the Premier League outfit being left with a reduced budget ahead of next season.

In total, Chelsea are allegedly due in the region of €46m (£40m) across a number of years.
