According to new reports, premier league champions Chelsea are ready to make Belgian star Eden Hazard the highest-paid player by offering him a new deal that will see him go home with £320,000 each week.
The Daily Express says Chelsea are determined to tie Hazard down to a new contract as they intend pushing his mind away from interest from La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid.
Last week, the 26-year-old spoke of his desire to stay with the Premier League champions for a couple of years, and it appears Chelsea management are out to reward him for his loyalty.
It is understood that he still has a £200,000-per-week deal at Chelsea that is meant to run for three years. However, the Premier League champions are ready to give the Belgian a reasonable pay rise so as to convince him to stay with them beyond the summer.
Should the deal see the light of the day, the Belgium international would become the highest-paid player in the Premier League and would beat Man United’s Paul Pogba who currently earn around £290,000 a week at Old Trafford.
In the just concluded season, he scored 16 Premier League goals for the Blues as he helped them win the Premier League title in Antonio Conte’s first season in charge at the club.
