The Blues are finally ready to bid farewell to their talismanic forward in the summer.
Maurizio Sarri has been able to rely on the Belgian this season as he continues to flourish as Chelsea’s top scorer with 19 goals in 46 across all competitions.
But Hazard has his heart set on a switch to the Bernabeu and he is ready to go.
The 2019 PFA Player of the Year nominee has not signed a new contract at Stamford Bridge, with his current deal expiring in 2020.
