Hazard appears to have just one more game to play for Chelsea before he leaves the club

The deal is said to have been reached ‘several weeks ago’, with Real’s announcement of Hazard’s capture to be made after the Europa League final at the end of the month.Maurizio Sarri’s side play London rivals Arsenal in Baku for the Europa League crown, and it now appears the May 29 showpiece will be Hazard’s final game for Chelsea. Hazard, who has scored 19 goals this season and created a further 16, has spent seven seasons at Stamford Bridge since joining from Lille in 2012. The 28-year-old is widely regarded as one of the world’s best players, and it’s long been believed he would enter Ballon d’Or contention were he to play in Spain.Chelsea will rue losing Hazard, who remains the club’s key player, though getting an alleged 87million for him should be considered good business since he has just a single year remaining on his contract in west London.
