Eden Hazard is holding off signing a new Chelsea contract as Real Madrid continue to circle.
Last season's Premier League champions want to tie the 26-year-old down to a new deal with them willing to pay him as much as £300,000 per week.
It would make him the highest paid player in the history of the club but, like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Hazard wants to wait until the season is over.
Hazard is happy at Chelsea and has a contract that runs until 2020, though the club knowingly want to extend it and increase his wages.
