Eden Hazard 'stalling over new deal amid Real Madrid interest'

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard is reportedly stalling over signing a new contract at the club as he wants to join Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard is reportedly stalling over signing a new contract at the club amid interest from Spanish and European champions Real Madrid.

Hazard's current deal at Stamford Bridge does not expire until 2020, but the Blues are keen to tie him down to an extension following growing speculation that he could leave this summer.

The Belgian is understood to be unhappy with his role under manager Antonio Conte, and publicly questioned the team's tactics following their recent 1-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The Daily Mail reports that he would be interested in a move to Real Madrid this summer, and is delaying signing new terms with Chelsea to see whether a switch materialises.

Madrid and manager Zinedine Zidane are known to be admirers of Hazard and view the 27-year-old as a potential long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.

Los Blancos are expected to undergo a major overhaul of their squad this summer, with Hazard one of a number of Premier League players thought to be on their radar.
