Chelsea have agreed a fee of €100m (£88.5m) plus add-ons to sell Eden Hazard to Real Madrid, according to the Guardian.
This news contradicts reports yesterday that talks between the La Liga club and the Blues had collapsed following negotiations at the beginning of the week.
Supporters on Twitter are not happy that Hazard may be sold for such a low fee:
Chelsea got ripped off

So we negotiated for months just to accept their first and only offer ?

We should have held out poor show, all the best to him, mid table mediocrity from here on in for us

We got shafted

Joke. Worth more than that even in his last year.

It remains to be seen if this report is confirmed, but if true it would represent a climb down from Chelsea on what they were believed to be demanding.
Multiple reports had claimed that the club were looking for £100m at least even though Hazard has just one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
It may be the case that the add-ons that are reportedly included in the deal will take the fee well above the £100m mark but it is still surprising that the Blues have seemingly opted to sell up for that figure.
