Chelsea Look to Secure Eden Hazard With Record-Breaking Contract Offer
Chelsea are reportedly preparing to make Eden Hazard the highest-paid player in the club’s history, as the Premier League giants look to fend off growing interest in their Belgian star.
According to several British media outlets, the Blues have offered the 23-year-old attacking midfielder a lucrative contract extension that would see him earn an estimated €250,000 per week. The proposed deal, if signed, would place Hazard ahead of all other current Chelsea players in terms of wages.
Hazard, who joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012, has become a key figure at Stamford Bridge. Known for his pace, creativity and flair, he has played a central role in José Mourinho’s plans as the club aims to reclaim domestic and European glory.
The new contract offer is widely seen as a strategic move by Chelsea to ensure the long-term future of one of their most valuable assets, particularly amid speculation linking the player to top European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
Despite being under contract until 2017, Hazard’s consistent performances and growing stature on the world stage have continued to draw attention from abroad. However, the offer on the table could signal Chelsea’s intent to build their squad around the Belgian international for years to come.
The salary boost not only reflects Hazard’s importance to the team but also highlights Chelsea’s commitment to retaining top talent as competition intensifies among Europe’s elite clubs.
While neither the player nor the club has officially commented on the reports, sources close to Stamford Bridge suggest negotiations are progressing positively. Should Hazard accept the deal, he would surpass the likes of Cesc Fàbregas and Diego Costa in Chelsea’s wage structure.
As fans await confirmation, the big question remains: will the proposed pay rise be enough to keep Hazard at Chelsea, or will the lure of a new challenge eventually tempt him away?
