Chelsea demand £200m for Hazard
The Blues will require a world-record fee to part with the Belgian star.
Chelsea will demand £200 million ($262m) to sell Eden Hazard, reports the Daily Mail.
The Blues hope their price tag acts as a deterrent for Real Madrid, who are keen on landing Hazard to help replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
The £200m fee would eclipse the current world record of £198m ($259m), paid by PSG to land Neymar last summer.
