Everything has been commanded with incredible respect in every party and I think that's the way things should be done. Now we all look forward to seeing how his new chapter at Real Madrid will start."Hazard – who led Chelsea to Europa League glory this season – is the fourth new arrival at Zidane's Madrid ahead of the 2019-20 campaign. The 28-year-old follows Eder Militao, Luka Jovic and Rodrygo Goes to the Spanish capital club, with Madrid also reportedly eyeing Lyon full-back Ferland Mendy, Manchester United star Paul Pogba and Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar. They have also been linked with Tottenham star Christian Eriksen after the midfielder admitted that he could leave Spurs this summer in search of a new challenge, although team-mate Jan Vertonghen is hoping that the Danish star remains in London.  Real Madrid finished third in La Liga this past season, finishing behind both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid as the club struggled to truly replace Cristiano Ronaldo following the Portuguese star's move to Juventus. In addition, the club suffered a stunning Champions League elimination at the hands of Ajax in the round of 16, ending their run of three consecutive European titles.</blockquote>
