Real Madrid have signed Eden Hazard from Chelsea on a five-year contract.

The 28-year-old will be officially unveiled on Thursday, June 13, once he has undergone his medical.

Madrid are understood to have struck a deal with Chelsea that could rise to a club-record transfer of £130 million (Dh608m) once all bonus payments come into play.

Chelsea said in a statement on their Twitter account: "We have reached an agreement for the transfer of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid. We would like to wish Eden well as we say a fond goodbye."

"Real Madrid CF and Chelsea FC have agreed to the transfer of the player Eden Hazard," said a Madrid statement released after the announcement.

"The player remains linked to the club during the next five seasons, until June 30, 2024.

"Eden Hazard will be presented as a new player of Real Madrid on Thursday June 13 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, after passing the relevant medical examination."

Hazard becomes Madrid's second major signing of the summer after the acquisition of Frankfurt's Luka Jovic as the club look to bounce back from a season when their only silverware came at the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi in December.
