Chelsea bidding to secure the future of Eden Hazard will reportedly offer a new contract of a 300.000 Pounds per week amid all the speculations that he is wanted in the La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. The Blues want to reopen talks with the winger according to some sources after their negotiations have been paused over the summer as he helped Belgium getting the third place at the FIFA World Cup.
Even he is contracted until 2020 it has been said that Hazard is very welcome of the possibility of signing for either Real or Barca.
In this season’s Europe’s premier competition the Blues will not feature, and this is the second time in the last three campaigns they have not taken part. They are facing a tough battle to qualify for next year’s edition as one of six teams competing for four places. It doesn’t change the possibility that Hazard could join Barcelona or Real Madrid this summer as the Spanish transfer window is open until the end of the month. For now, the player has shut down talk of an immediate exit.
Offering a new contract to him would put the Blues in a much stronger position to at least maximize his value in the transfer market or just to keep him, but convincing him to sign may be the difficult part.
If they secure Champions League football for next season and if they can show progress under new boss Maurizio Sarri they’ll have a good chance to tie him down, but having a failure on either front will likely push him toward leaving.
