London club Chelsea are set to offer star player Eden Hazard with a huge £300,000-a-week contract, and they are hoping he will commit to Stamford Bridge for the next few years.
With the likelihood of no Champions League football next season, Chelsea are hoping they can secure Hazard to a new deal
The Spanish publication Sport indicates Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich is so keen to hold onto Hazard that he will blow open the club’s wage structure to keep him.
Despite Real apparently being ready to submit an £87million bid after the World Cup, Chelsea will pull out all the stops in order to hang on to their main man.
Hazard, 27, is already the top earner in West London, pocketing £200,000-a-week and his contract runs until 2020.
The Belgian would get a massive £100,000-a-week raise if he were to sign the reported contract offer.
Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte is likely to leave the club at the end of the season after falling out with Chelsea’s hierarchy.
Hazard could be stuck in no-man’s land as he once again waits to discover who his new manager will be and what role he’ll be taking up in the new system.
Chelsea signed the forward in 2012, from French Ligue 1 side Lille for a reported fee of £32 million, going on to win two Premier Leagues, one League Cup and Europa League.
