Hazard close to agreeing record new Chelsea deal
Eden Hazard is close to agreeing a new contract that will make him the best-paid player in Chelsea's history.
Goal has learned that Hazard has been offered a deal worth just over €250,000-a-week plus performance-related bonuses.
The new deal would make him the highest paid player in the club's history, above current top earner Cesc Fabregas, whose total package is believed to be worth €250,000-a-week.
Jose Mourinho sanctioned the improved deal after having a heart-to-heart with the 23-year-old at the end of last season.
Mourinho had been concerned about Hazard's willingness to work for the benefit of the team, particularly in light of comments from the player in which he criticised the team's reliance on his own creative powers.
Goal understands that firm words were proffered from the manager but Mourinho was satisfied with Hazard's attitude and moved to ease fears the fan favourite could be tempted into a big-money transfer.
