Bumper deal for Hazard

The Eden Hazard transfer saga rumbles on with reports that the playmaker will be offered £13m a year at Real Madrid, making him the club’s best-paid player.


“Reports in Spain suggest a fee has already been agreed between the two clubs as the Champions League winners bid to replace Cristiano Ronaldo,” says the Daily Mirror, which says the figure is believed to be around £170m.

“And with the Portuguese star off the wage bill, Hazard would instantly be the highest-paid at the club, alongside Gareth Bale.”
