Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has wrapped up his move to Real Madrid in a deal worth €100 million (£88m/$112m) and has signed a contract through June 30, 2024, according to Real Madrid.
Reports have it that the fee is worth a minimum €100m, but it could rise to €140m (£124m/$146m) with incentives.
Real Madrid also disclosed that Eden Hazard will be unveiled as a Real Madrid player on the 13th of June.
Hazard has always bared his mind about wanting to join the Spanish giants, referring to it as a “dream” only recently.
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia had this to say, “Although it is with sadness we say goodbye to Eden and we made it absolutely clear to him the club wished him to stay, we respect the decision he has made to take on a new challenge in a different country and follow his childhood dream of playing for Real Madrid.
“The memories he leaves us with will not fade. He provided all who watched Chelsea play with great entertainment and many match-winning contributions, and for that, we thank Eden enormously.
“He has been a model professional throughout his time at the club, a wonderful individual to have around and a joy to work with. We look forward to welcoming him back to Stamford Bridge in the future.”
