Hazard is already the Blues’ highest paid player but is well off the mega-money pocketed by European heavyweights Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Team and individual silverware and awards are headed Hazard’s way at the end of the season – with only N’Golo Kante challenging him for player of the year recognition.
Mourinho once labelled Hazard a £100million player but Conte has refused to be drawn in on the speculation around his star man.
Conte said: “I'm not very good to put a price on a player. I think Eden, for sure, is a great player. A top player. He's in a level very high.
"But I don't see the problem, because we don't want to sell him. He hasn't a price now."
