Hazard deal to be announced after Europa League final

Cape Town - Real Madrid are expected to wait until after the Europa League final to announce the signing of Chelsea forward Eden Hazard.

The forward is yet to publicly announce if he will stay at Stamford Bridge after constant links to the Spanish giants.

Hazard has just a year left on his contract having joined from Lille for £32 million in 2012.

And after a substitute outing in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Leicester the Belgium international revealed he has made the club aware of his decision.

"Yes. A couple of weeks ago. Yes I have made my decision but it is not just about me," said Hazard. "I have made my decision, that's it."

And now L'Equipe claims that Real Madrid will wait patiently to announce the signing of Hazard after Chelsea's Europa League final against Arsenal on May 29.

The report from France adds that a fee of around €100 million (£86 million) was agreed a while ago and that Hazard is ready to leave Stamford Bridge.
