Chelsea are quoting Real Madrid a price of £225m to sign Eden Hazard, it has been claimed.

Real Madrid are in the market to land two Chelsea players this summer in the shape of Hazard and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.




Los Blancos have been tipped to complete the signing of Courtois, who wants the move, as soon as they can bring in a replacement.

It has been suggested in Spain that Real Madrid are in no mood to break the bank for Hazard and as such they may miss out on the Belgian.
 


Indeed, according to beIN Sports' Richard Keys, Chelsea have told Real Madrid they will need to pay £225m to sign Hazard.

Such a deal would make the attacker the most expensive player in world football.

Real Madrid have until the end of August to do their transfer business, but Chelsea may become more difficult to buy from when the window for Premier League clubs to make signings closes on 9th August.

Premier League clubs have a shorter period to do their business than their European rivals, after choosing to slash their own transfer window.
