Real Madrid 'lodge first Eden Hazard offer'

Real Madrid have begun to move on to Chelsea's midfielder Eden Hazard during the summer transfer period, according to new coach Zinedine Zidane.

According to Spanish television channel La Sexta, Chelsea rejected the first offer from Real Madrid to sign a deal with Hazard, which amounted to 82 million euros, is expected to increase the Royal team value of his next offer, to persuade the Blues to abandon his first star.

Hazard has repeatedly announced his desire to wear the Real Madrid shirt and has not signed a new contract with the Blues, which expires in 2020. If he continues with the club for the end of his contract, he will travel for free, causing the club to lose a lot of money.

Chelsea have been banned from signing deals during two transfer periods for failing to meet short-term players, and if their appeal is not accepted, the London club will not be able to compensate Hazard if he leaves next summer.
