Real Madrid are reportedly keen on signing Eden Hazard after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Italian champions Juventus this summer.

According to Metro UK, Chelsea have told Eden Hazard that they will not allow him join Real Madrid unless he hands in a transfer request.

The report claims Chelsea board gave Hazard until the end of April to inform Chelsea that he wanted to leave this summer.

And as Hazard failed to tell Chelsea of any intention to leave before the end of April, he must now hand in a transfer request to push through a move to Madrid.
