Chelsea are bracing themselves for a summer-long battle with Spanish giants, Real Madrid over Eden Hazard.
The 26-year old Belgian is seen as Cristiano Ronaldo's heir at the Bernabeu, with the Portuguese Superstar nearing the end of his stellar career.
Real are also convinced that Hazard will love to work with head coach Zinedine Zidane after five years at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard who has been in sensational form this season, alongside, N'golo Kante, and Diego Costa and even hinted he could leave Chelsea at the end of the season.
“If I ever leave, it’ll be after winning a championship. You need to go out on a high so that people remember you for the right reasons''; Hazard said earlier in the month.
However, Chelsea have been lining up a lucrative new contracts for both Hazard and international team-mate Thibaut Courtois, their goalkeeper to ward off any approach from Real Madrid four their Superstars.
Hazard who is currently recovering from a calf injury has scored 11 goals this season; and he is back to the sensational form that earned him Player of the Year honours from his fellow pros and the football writers two years ago.
Hazard, a £32million capture from French club Lille five years ago, is on course to clinch his second title in three seasons.
It would join the Europa League crown he helped win in 2013 and the League Cup two years later.
