Done Deal? Bad News For Chelsea As Superstar Agrees £80m Move To Barcelona

Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard has agreed a move to Barcelona, according to a report.

The 27-year-old has two years remaining on his current contract at Stamford Bridge and has not yet committed to a new deal.

Hazard has also publicly stated that he will not rule out a move away from West London unless the uncertainty over their managerial situation is resolved.

Real Madrid have been linked with Hazard but, according to Transfermarketweb, the Belgium international has reportedly agreed to sign for the Catalan giants and will move in a £80m deal.

Hazard is currently at the World Cup with the Red Devils, where he will contest the third-place playoff against England on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Blues are plotting a move for Juventus star Miralem Pjanic this summer, reports say.

The Blues are set for a busy summer with the impending exit of Antonio Conte and the appointment of a new head coach. Maurizio Sarri is expected to take over from Conte and is familiar with Serie A having spent his entire managerial career in Italy.

Pjanic is considered one of the best midfielders in Serie A, but Juventus are willing to sell the 28-year-old to raise funds for other transfers.

Italian publication Corriere dello Sport claim Barcelona had been leading the race to sign Pjanic, but will now face competition from Chelsea. Juventus value Pjanic at £70million and Barcelona want the Bosnia and Herzegovina international to replace Andres Iniesta.
