EDEN HAZARD will have to settle for the No. 7 jersey when he will finally sign for Real Madrid.
The ace of Chelsea wants his 115 million pound contract to be concluded – like the president of Bernabeu, Florentino Perez.

Even though Hazard is about to become the first major rookie of Zinedine Zidane's manager as boss of Madrid, he will not be allowed to wear his beloved No. 10.
The club does not want to take off its jersey from Croatian midfielder Luka Modric, who won the Ballon d'Or last year.
Instead, Hazard will get No. 7 – which belonged to Cristiano Ronaldo before he left for Juventus last summer.
Striker Mariano Diaz has it right now but is happy to give it to him.
Perez hoped to have the contract for Hazard sorted out by Monday and unveil it early next week.
Hazard, 28, is eager to conclude the deal after scoring a brace in Wednesday's 4-1 win against Arsenal, after which he said: "I think it's a goodbye." .
And his teammates insist that there is no resentment.
English midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, recovering from an Achilles operation, said: "He is admired by all football players, everyone can see how talented he is and what he has done for Chelsea in the last seven years.
"If he leaves, we will respect his decision and we wish him the best because he is one of the best players in the world."
SARRI STATE
The future of blues boss Maurizio Sarri remains subject to intense uncertainty.
The Italian met with Chelsea's owner, Roman Abramovich, following his victory in the Euro.
But sources close to Sarri now say they would be "surprised" if he left this summer after reversing the situation.
Sarri, 60, won the Europa League and finished third in the Premier League to secure his return to the Champions League next season, all in his first year.
But the Italian champions of Juventus are close to his heart to replace Max Allegri, sacked.
Some sections of Blues fans did not like Sarri and did not like his "Sarri-ball" style, which many find dull.
They also wanted to see Callum Hudson-Odoi, 18, have more play time before the English star broke his Achilles in April.
