The curtain call for the final Hazard show is a few hours away. A Europa League final to go before the Belgian quits Chelsea for Real Madrid.
It appears Real Madrid are inches away from announcing Eden Hazard as their record-breaking transfer this summer. The BBC and Sun believe Los Blancos has found a suitable amount for the Chelsea player at £115 million.
Chelsea afore all these talks were declared to be happy with £130 million if offered to them.
Not only does this come from the Madrid camp, but the player himself has been quoted saying the Europa League final between them and London rivals, Chelsea, “would be the perfect farewell”.
"I want to win the trophy, that is it. It does not matter if I score or I do not score. If it is my last game, I hope to bring the trophy. Would it be the perfect farewell? Yes.I cannot play for another club in the UK. No chance. I am a Blue! It means a lot.(via SiPhillipsSports)"

The fee will reach Chelsea’s asking price of £130m
If Real Madrid is willing to pay £115m, that would be up front for the forward. If Chelsea wants to hold out for more, they will get it but just not all in one payment.
They could easily get what they want and more if they add a smart bonus in the sale. We’ve seen it happen with others like Philippe Coutinho, who now has caused the Reds to lose out on a couple of millions after a string of poor showings for Barcelona.
Hazard’s move will be £115m and will eventually rise to £130m because both clubs love money, and both want a win, win situation from the transaction.
Real Madrid have reportedly found a breakthrough over a deal for Eden Hazard.

Other reports suggest by June 3 (Monday), Eden Hazard will be announced a Real Madrid player. Most of the deal is complete, with them solely waiting on the Europa League final to conclude.
The Top Flight has been saying for a while… It was a matter of when and not if, and what the final cost would be for the Premier League’s most exciting player.
