Real Madrid 'end Hazard interest' after Chelsea demand world-record fee

The arrivals of Jorginho and Rob Green are unlikely to offset fears that the Blues' failure to qualify for the Champions League could have serious consequences when it comes to keeping hold of their star men.

His move to Chelsea comes amid doubts over Thibaut Courtois' future with the Londoners with Real Madrid reportedly keen on the Belgian global, who is entering the final year of his contract.
