Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that he is ready to hand over star striker Eden Hazard to Spanish team Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 200 million pounds.

Hazard, 24, has scored 18 goals this season, helping Chelsea move to within six points of this year's English Premier League title.

When Mourinho was asked if 100 million pounds would be enough for Chelsea to part with Belgian Hazard, Mourinho said yes provided Real Madrid gave that amount and one of its three best players.

He was apparently making a reference to Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez who are widely regarded as Real Madrid's three best players.

 

Mourinho was speaking ahead of Chelsea's clash with Arsenal on Sunday.

He said that if Real Madrid wanted Hazard badly enough, their president Florentino Perez or CEO Jose Angel Sanchez could get on the phone and say they wanted him.

Hazard is an odds-on favourite to be named PFA Player of the Year on Sunday.

Mourinho described him as a special player and a normal person.
