Eden Hazard responds to report he has agreed Real Madrid move

Eden Hazard has denied he has agreed a deal with Real Madrid .

Reports in Spain this week claimed the Belgian playmaker will join the Spanish giants at the end of the season.

A fee of £98million would reportedly be enough to tempt Chelsea to sell with Hazard set to earn £270,000 a week for five years.

But the Blues star has rubbished reports he has aleady made a decision over his future.

"There's nothing in the reports," he said. "I'm only focused on [Sunday's] game against Cyprus. That's all I'm thinking about."

Hazard will receive a special cap when he makes his 100th international appearance for Belgium - but claims it will probably end up in his garage.

"It would have been nicer to be playing in Belgium but the calendar determined otherwise,'' he said in Nicosia.

"I'm happy that in my 28th year I have reached the milestone. It has been a great experience to date and hopefully it will not end just yet. I'm still feeling good and still have a lot of pleasure to wear the (Belgian) shirt."

Hazard will join Belgium's other centurions Jan Vertonghen and Axel Witsel in receiving a commemorative cap.

''What am I going to do with it? I fear it will land up in my garage along with the trophies that I've won,'' he said

"I've said before that I not really interested in those sort of things. Maybe my father will hand it up at Stade Brainois.''

The Belgian amateur club is where Hazard and his three brothers began their careers and his father Thierry is the groundsman.
