Calderon: Real Madrid can pay £100m for Hazard

Spanish news outlet Marca recently started spreading the news about Real Madrid's interest in signing Chelsea star Eden Hazard. They went as far as claiming that the player has agreed to the transfer which may not be the case as far as we are concerned.

Now former Real Madrid President, Ramon Calderon has added his views on the potential transfer deal while is likely to be the biggest transfer deal ever if it happens in the summer as Chelsea will not accept anything less than Manchester United paid for Pogba from Juventus.

Talking to TalkSport, he said: "Chelsea aren't a selling club, so it wouldn't be easy, but as always it would depend on the wishes of the player," Calderon said. "If he wants to leave, he will leave -- that's always the point.

"It's all about the player. The player must say, 'I want to leave and go to Real Madrid,' and that will be the moment they start negotiating.

"Chelsea will ask for a lot of money, I think that's what the situation will be at the end of the season.

"Chelsea knows quite well how much has been paid in the market over the last few years, with [Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Gareth] Bale and [Paul] Pogba -- £100 million is now the bar.

"That bar has been set by those transfers, so I think that's how much a club like Chelsea would be asking for and the economy at Real Madrid is healthy -- I don't think that wouldn't be a problem for them."
