A report claims that Real Madrid are unwilling to meet Chelsea's £106m valuation of Eden Hazard as the transfer saga drags on.

Real Madrid are reportedly a long way off agreeing a deal with Chelsea for top summer transfer target Eden Hazard.

Los Blancos were keen to wrap up a deal for the Belgian forward early in the window as part of a major rebuild job at the Bernabeu.

Hazard hinted after last week's Europa League final win over Arsenal that a move could be imminent and it had been claimed that Monday was pencilled in for the 28-year-old's unveiling.

According to Spanish outlet AS, however, the two clubs are still around €20m (£17.6m) apart on their valuation of the former Lille ace.

Chelsea are said to be holding out for £106m but Madrid are not willing to go any higher than £88m for a player into the final year of his contract.

The report indicates that the La Liga giants' director Jose Angel Sanchez will fly into London later this week to hold face-to-face talks with counterpart Marina Granovskaia in the hope of finally coming to an agreement.
