Real Madrid have reportedly moved closer to securing a deal for Chelsea winger Eden Hazard.
The Spanish giants have been frequently linked with an approach for Hazard, who now has just 18 months remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea will not entertain any offers during the January window, but according to Marca, a transfer in the summer appears to be increasingly likely.
The report claims that Real have settled on making Hazard their number-one target ahead of next season, while the player has decided that he will look to push through a switch to the Bernabeu.
A new contract is expected to remain on the table for Hazard, but Chelsea are said to be ready to set the Belgium international's asking price at £90m.
Hazard has contributed 10 goals and 10 assists from 21 outings in the Premier League this season.
