It’s now official. Belgium star forward Eden Hazard is leaving Chelsea in order to join La Liga giants Real Madrid.

According to reports, Real paid around $112 million for Hazard, who is set to ink a deal that will run until 2024. The 28-year-old will be officially introduced on June 13^th.

Both Chelsea and Real Madrid confirmed the deal on their official social media.

“Although it is with sadness we say goodbye to Eden and we made it absolutely clear to him the club wished him to stay, we respect the decision he has made to take on a new challenge in a different country and follow his childhood dream of playing for Real Madrid,” – said Chelsea’s sporting director Marina Granovskaia.

“The memories he leaves us with will not fade. He provided all who watched Chelsea play with great entertainment and many match-winning contributions, and for that we thank Eden enormously. He has been a model professional throughout his time at the club, a wonderful individual to have around and a joy to work with. We look forward to welcoming him back to Stamford Bridge in the future.”

Eden Hazard joined Chelsea in 2012 from French side Lille, and has since played a total of 302 games for the club while scoring 89 goals and providing 40 assists. He

Eden Hazard was the Man of the Match in Chelsea’s 4-1 Europa League Final triumph over Arsenal on Wednesday night.

The Belgian midfielder scored two goals and provided an assist in Chelsea’s triumph, the second in Hazard’s tenure with the club.

Nonetheless, after seven seasons and 85 goals with the Blues, Hazard stated after the final in Baku that this match was “probably a goodbye” for him with Chelsea.

Hazard has long been linked to rumors for a move to Real Madrid this summer, a club which has long been interested in acquiring the elite midfielder’s services.

The 28-year-old also stated that he “wants a new challenge,” and moving to the Spanish giants or another big European club might give him the opportunity to lift the Champions League trophy, one thing that he has not yet been able to accomplish in his career.

In total, in his time with the Premier League club, Hazard won the Premier League twice, the FA Cup once, the English League Cup once, and the Europa League twice.

The Belgian international began his career with Lille and then moved to Chelsea for a 35 million euro transfer fee in 2012.

If Real Madrid or any other club wants to acquire his services this summer, it will be much more pricey than that figure.

It looks like Eden Hazard’s time in London will come to an end pretty soon. According to influential Spanish media outlet Marca, Real Madrid and Chelsea are close to reaching agreement over Belgian star forward’s transfer to Spain.

Hazard and Real have reportedly already agreed to personal terms, but the two clubs are still negotiating about the price. Chelsea put a $160 million price tag on the 28-year-old, which is something La Liga giants aren’t willing to pay since the player has just one year left on his contract. It is expected, however, that the two sides will agree on a price of $110 million which would install Hazard as Real’s most expensive signing in history.

Even if Real Madrid and Chelsea come to an agreement about Eden Hazard in the coming days, the official announcement won’t come before the end of the season. Chelsea is looking to avoid unnecessary media attention as they are making a final push to secure UEFA Champions League spot next season and advance to Europa League finals this year.

Besides Hazard, Real and Chelsea are discussing a deal about Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic as well. Kovacic spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Chelsea, with the London club now looking to make the move permanent. This transfer is expected to go down smoothly as all sides involved are on the same terms.

Although Belgium star winger Eden Hazard is playing some of his best soccer under the guidance of new Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri, he is still not ruling away the possibility of playing for Real Madrid in the near future.

Hazard was linked with a move to Spain this past summer but ended up staying with Chelsea after the club was unwilling to let him go. Still, in a recent interview, Hazard admitted that playing for Real is a dream for him since he was a child and he still has ambitions to play there.

“Real Madrid is the best club in the world,” – said Hazard. “I don’t want to lie, it is my dream since I was a kid.”

“We will see. I don’t want to talk about this every day. I don’t have time, but we will talk about my future soon.” – he added.

Eden Hazard’s former Chelsea teammate and fellow Belgium international Thibaut Courtois already made a switch to Real Madrid this summer. Courtois publicly stated his desire to move to Madrid and in order to force the club to let him go, failed to report for training camp.

But Hazard isn’t willing to take this approach.

“I don’t want that [drama],” – Hazard explained. “I want what’s good for me, but I want what’s good for the club because the club has given me everything. I don’t want to say: ‘Yes, I am signing a new contract,’ and then I don’t end up signing.”

Hazard is having a tremendous start of the season, having scored eight goals and added three assists in 10 matches in all competitions for Chelsea.
