| Eden Hazard |
CHELSEA will not sell Eden Hazard to Manchester City - even if they table a world record bid.
The Belgian has reportedly stalled on a new contract offer at Stamford Bridge amid interest from La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Hazard is believed to be desperate to play under his hero Zinedine Zidane, although the Frenchman is under pressure following a miserable first half to the season.
But reports this week suggest that City boss Pep Guardiola is preparing a £150m offer for the 27-year-old and will make a move in the summer if Hazard’s Chelsea future is still uncertain.
City are willing to pay Hazard £300,000-a-week, which is what international team-mate Kevin De Bruyne is pocketing after signing a new deal last week.
But according to the Telegraph, Chelsea will reject any advances from English clubs for their talisman, even if they’re in excess of £200m.
Hazard has been in stunning form for Antonio Conte’s side this season, scoring 12 times and providing nine assists.
And the Italian is not prepared to let him go as he seeks fresh faces before Wednesday’s transfer deadline in an effort to hunt down runaway leaders City at the top of the Premier League.
Chelsea are currently third in the table, 15 points behind Guardiola's men.
They’re back in action on Wednesday as they welcome Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge.
