Fabregas begs Hazard to stay at Chelsea

Goalkeeping coach Luis Llopis has also left and with Courtois' arrival seemingly imminent, Navas knows that his time as number one at the Bernabeu may be coming to an end.

Real Madrid are reportedly lining up a £112 million bid to sign Eden Hazard, although Chelsea have a much higher valuation of the Belgian superstar.

Thibaut Courtois is keen to return to the Spanish capital and is set to join Real Madrid, but Chelsea are waiting for Petr Cech to return to Stamford Bridge before the transfer can be finalised.

Hazard is on the La Liga giants' list of targets following Cristiano Ronaldo's mega-money move to Juventus.

The Blues suffered from the Premier League title curse last season after winning the trophy under ex-manager Antonio Conte back in 2016/17.

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has urged Eden Hazard to stay at the club, admitting that they "need" to keep the Belgian if they are to win trophies next season.

"I think he had a really big influence on my development as player, exactly because of that - he teaches a lot about the game and how you see the game on the field of play, and that helped me to grow".

"I would like to meet these players face to face and talk to them and understand what the best thing is for everyone to do".

"When we were together at Napoli, it was a case of me taking on his mentality and putting that together with the characteristics I have as a footballer".

"For us, he's our most important player. As I have said at least 100 times, I am at Chelsea and for the moment nobody has made me an offer".
