Hazard’s current deal runs until 2020 and sees him pocket a whopping £200,000-a-week.
But Chelsea’s key man is now set to sign on for a further year after being linked with Real Madrid over the summer.
And other reports suggest Hazard’s wages will rise by £100k-a-week, making him one of the best-paid players on the globe.
The 26-year-old has just bounced back from a broken ankle and featured for 30 minutes in Chelsea’s 6-0 demolition of Champions League group stage opponents Qarabag on Tuesday night.
And after playing a crucial role in last season’s terrific Premier League title win under Antonio Conte, Hazard is now being backed to develop into world football’s best player by none other than Frank Lampard.
The Blues legend told BT Sport: “He’s the magic in the Chelsea team. If Eden Hazard’s on his game he’s got the magic that we talk about with the Messi’s and Ronaldo’s – he can get towards that level.

“They can challenge on four fronts probably, Premier League and Champions League as the priority, but they’ve got the squad now to do that.
“I think they do. They’re the unknowns. We talk about [Alvaro] Morata being their main man. He’s the form man and he needs to stay injury-free.
“They’ve got a squad now that goes really deep. They are very well drilled. I do fancy their chances of going far because they are so well drilled and can defend, which we kept talking about before.”
