The Belgium international will only leave on their terms and Real Madrid will need to dig deep into their vast reserves to buy him.

Chelsea will ignore overtures unless it suits them and bidding will begin at £150million.

Hazard, 27, made it known on World Cup duty he fancies a change of direction in the wake of Madrid’s interest.

Chelsea have reminded forward Hazard he still has two years left on his contract, with an option of another year.

They are willing to compromise by offering a generous deal and to let him spearhead new manager Maurizio Sarri’s new dawn.

Keeper Thibaut Courtois is also on Madrid’s wanted list and admits he will listen to anything Chelsea can offer before making any decision on his future.
