Chelsea Football Club are believed to have readied a £300,000-a-week contract for their sensational player, Eden Hazard to tie him down and ward-off possible interest from long time admirer, Real Madrid. The Telegraph reports that "the Belgian, who is arguably Chelsea’s most important player, has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the past but Hazard is understood to be happy at Stamford Bridge having been key in winning the Premier League title last season."
The new contract would make the Belgian one of the best paid players in the Premiership, with the club insisting that the player can remain in the team and win the Ballon d'Or. Hazard who is yet to start a single game this term due to injury may start against Atletico Madrid this evening.
According to manager, Antonio Conte;
“I think Eden is improving a lot and in contention for the game (in Madrid). After his injury and surgery you need time, and if I make the decision (to start him) it is because I think he is ready. When you are in a great team with many great players, you must understand that you need to be ready to start on the bench, ready to come on and make a difference. I don’t see a problem. We are managing his recovery very well. Hazard is very important for us, so we have to make sure he is ready to play a full game.”
