Eden Hazard joins Real Madrid

Eden Hazard has left Chelsea to join Real Madrid, both clubs have announced.
Sources told ESPN FC on Wednesday that Chelsea had accepted an offer of an initial £88.5 million from Madrid for Hazard, whose deal with Real will run until 2024, with significant add-ons and bonuses that are expected to be reached and that could push the total payout to £130 million.The La Liga giants announced in a club statement that Hazard will be presented at the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday, June 13.

Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane had made signing Hazard a priority as he revamped his squad after a disappointing season, with Chelsea having resigned themselves to selling their star player before he entered the final year of his contract.Hazard will leave Chelsea after 110 goals and 81 assists in 352 appearances in all competitions, with two Premier League titles among six major trophies won in his seven seasons at Stamford Bridge.
He inspired Chelsea to a 4-1 win over Arsenal in the Europa League final on his farewell appearance, scoring twice and setting up a goal for Pedro.
Sources told ESPN FC that Hazard had been in regular contact with Zidane for several months, with he and his family looking into housing and school options in Madrid.
Madrid have harboured an interest in the Belgium international for many years and asked about signing him last summer, but Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia made it clear he was not for sale.
Hazard’s move to Madrid sees him reunited with former Chelsea teammate Thibaut Courtois, who left Stamford Bridge in a £35 million deal last summer.
