FA Cup champions Chelsea have reportedly slammed a world-record fee of about £200 million on their star player Eden Hazard.
The Belgium international, who won bronze medal at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia has been heavily linked to replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid this summer.
But the Blues are doing everything they can to ensure they keep their man to have some level of stability under the new manager Maurizio Sarri after taking over from Conte this month.

Hazard is yet to sign a new deal with the Stamford Bridge outfit as his current contract with the club runs out in the summer of 2020
And according to Dailymail, the new boss is hoping to work with him and Willian, who has missed out on a move to Barcelona.
However, the Blues are trying to get the Belgian to sign a new contract which will see him earn £300,000-a-week at the London club.
Meanwhile, they will have to also deal with the Thibaut Courtois' situation as report in Spain claims the goalkeeper has agreed to join Real Madrid.
The shotstopper has just one more season on his current contract - meaning that if he doesn't sign a new deal before then, he can walk out of the club without Chelsea earning a dime from his move regardless of the value of the deal.
Meanwhile, they have already picked Everton's Jordan Pickford as his replacement but Everton have no desire to sell and will consider a new contract for their England international.
