Chelsea will reportedly take a £5million pay day because of a clause in Eden Hazard's move to Real Madrid in 2019 - even though he retired last October.

Hazard moved to Madrid for an initial £88million fee on a five-year deal which would have expired this summer.

Lucrative potential add-ons meant the package could have reached up to £150m dependent on performance, of which £130m has been earned.

And although Hazard hung up his boots seven months ago, those bonuses still apply until the end of his original deal.
