TRANSFER: Hazard Becomes Most Expensive 28-yr-Old Signing In Football History

Real Madrid has agreed a €100 million (£88.5m) transfer fee with Chelsea for Eden Hazard, making him the most expensive 28-year-old signing in the history of the game.

The Chelsea star is only behind Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of players above 27 years of age to be signed at €100 million or above.

In football, the older players are worth less than younger players with a lot of promise. It is why Kylian Mbappe at 18 was more expensive than Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been world best player five times.

According to Guardian UK, Hazard is one of Zinedine Zidane’s priority targets for the summer transfer window as part of his major squad rebuild at Madrid.

With just a year left on his contract with Chelsea, the Belgium international told the club he will not sign a new deal.

Chelsea face the prospect of losing Hazard on a free transfer next summer and have been resigned to losing their star player after their season ended.

Hazard appeared to say goodbye to Chelsea fans after the Europa League final.

“I think it is a goodbye, but in football you never know.”

For now, Hazard continues to train with the Belgian national team ahead of their Euro 2020 qualifiers this weekend.

He is set to become Zidane’s third signing of his second stint as Madrid’s manager.

The most expensive players in football history are:

Neymar Jr. — €222 million

Kylian Mbappe — €180 million

Philippe Coutinho — €120 million

Cristiano Ronaldo — €117 million

Ousmane Dembele — €105 million

Paul Pogba — €105 million

Eden Hazard — €100 million

Gareth Bale — €100 million

Gonzalo Higuain — €90 million

Romelu Lukaku — €84.8 million

A seasoned administrator and chartered accountant, Francis Oluwagbenro Meshioye, the Olori Oluwo (Supreme Leader) of the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity has said being a member does not stop members from practising religions of their choice. In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, he explained the fraternity takes its roots from Nigerian culture. On the negative perception of the group and what attracted him, Meshioye said: “I wanted to understand my culture, to know why I am here. Why was I not born in India as a Hindu or in China to embrace their culture and religion? This made me to begin to look within myself to know who I am and I extended this to what I have within my area. I am a firm believer in the Yoruba saying, ‘Animo ni peregun laso’ meaning you add to whatever you have.

Air Peace De-board Passenger For Asking Attendant To Translate Safety Instructions To Igbo Because 'He Does Not Speak English'

Iwarah declared that his de-boarding was necessary in a bid to guarantee the safety of its crew and customers and said it would not tolerate an act that would jeopardise safety on any of its flights. A passenger with Air Peace was today de-boarded by the airline over claims that he could not communicate in English during safety briefing. The passenger identified as Mr. Christopher Aniagboso told the cabin crew to translate the safety briefing for passengers in the over-wing exit seats in Igbo language and not English as is the standard. The airline in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Chris Iwarah, said that other passengers around him offered to translate what was being said in English to him, but he insisted that the crew must brief him in Igbo language.
