Eden Hazard has reportedly turned down a move to Newcastle United, despite the Magpies agreeing a fee with Real Madrid.

Reports in Spain claim Los Blancos president Florentino Perez had accepted a €40million offer from Newcastle United plus €10million in add-ons.

However, the Belgian international has 'turned down' a move to the Magpies and is holding out for a return to a "big club."

Eddie Howe's side are on the hunt for additional quality to improve their attacking threat and Hazard has been one of the names repeatedly mentioned.

Nonetheless, Hazard is holding out for a potential return to former club Chelsea.

The 31-year-old scored 110 goals and providing 92 assists in 352 appearances for the Blues, before earning a move to Real Madrid.

Things haven't quite worked out for Hazard in Madrid, and they've told the Belgian he's free to leave the club as they gear up to sign French superstar Kylian Mbappe in the summer.
