Real Madrid want to announce the signing of Eden Hazard by Friday – so he can pose with the club’s new kit.
The Chelsea star is on the verge of sealing a long-awaited move to the Bernabeu after both clubs finally agreed an initial fee around £88million.

All that remains is for the Belgian to agree personal terms – and the deal could be confirmed any moment.
Belgian football expert Kristof Terreur, a friend of Hazard’s, reveals why Madrid are keen to make the announcement sooner rather than later.
“They want to announce the deal as fast as possible, maybe even today, because tomorrow they are launching their new kit, so they might want Hazard to pose with the new shirt,” he told talkSPORT 2 on Thursday.
