Chelsea reportedly up their asking price for Eden Hazard to more than £100m amid increasing speculation linking the Belgian with a move to Real Madrid.

Chelsea have reportedly upped their asking price for Eden Hazard amid increasing speculation that the winger will leave the club at the end of the season.

Hazard recently revealed that he has made a decision on his future, and while he is yet to clarify what that decision is, he is expected to inform the club that he wants to join Real Madrid.

Madrid have been long-term admirers of the Belgian and missed out on his signature last summer when looking for a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.

Hazard has repeatedly expressed his desire to play for Madrid at some stage of his career, but the Evening Standard reports that Chelsea will demand more than £100m for his signature.

The Belgian is out of contract in 2020, forcing Chelsea to lower their asking price from last summer, when they are understood to have told Madrid that it would take £200m to prise him away from Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are reportedly willing to offer a contract worth more than £300,000 a week to convince Hazard to stay, but the 28-year-old is thought to have his heart set on the Spanish capital.

Hazard still represents a cheaper option for Real than Paris Saint-Germain duo Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, both of whom are also on the European champions' radar.
