Report: Real Madrid not giving up on Eden Hazard

Real Madrid are reportedly intent on signing Belgian attacker Eden Hazard from Chelsea.

The 23-year-old joined the Premier League side from Lille in 2012 and has since developed into one of the finest players in European football.

It is understood that Chelsea are preparing to offer the forward a new lucrative contract, which would make him the highest-paid player at the club.

However, according to The Express, Real Madrid are not giving up the fight for the Belgium international and are preparing to launch a big-money move.

It is thought that should Los Blancos receive the go-ahead, they would be prepared to sell Gareth Bale to Manchester United in a £100m deal next summer.
