Getting £100m for Hazard would be 'great business' for Chelsea, says Melchiot

Chelsea selling Eden Hazard to Real Madrid for £100 million ($131m) would be "great business" for the club, according to Mario Melchiot.

The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a Santiago Bernabeu switch throughout the 2018-19 campaign and he has previously admitted he "dreams" of one day playing for the club.

Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane has reportedly identified Hazard as his number one transfer target this summer, labelling him as a "fantastic player" ahead of a major squad overhaul.
