CHELSEA will receive a chunk of cash from Real Madrid after they won LaLiga last night, according to reports.

A title win clause in the deal to take Eden Hazard to the Bernabeu last summer means Frank Lampard will have some extra money to add to his transfer kitty.

Real beat Villareal 2-1 at home last night to secure their first league title since 2016/17.

Barcelona lost 2-1 at home to Osasuna on the same night but Real's win meant their result did not matter anyway.

But Los Blancos' success will come at a price as they will now have to shell out the extra money to the Blues, according to European football expert Kristoff Terreur.

Hazard signed last June in a deal worth a maximum of £130million.

The original fee was £88.5m with the rest in add-ons – one of which was triggered by Real's win last night.

The remaining clauses are believed to be linked to goals and appearances.

Hazard has scored once and bagged seven assists from 21 appearances in a first season blighted by injury.

Blues fans at the time were delighted Marina Granovskaia secured such a great deal when Hazard only had a year left on his contract.

But while they were happy with the cash both fans and player were emotional about the departure.

In a lengthy statement when he left, Hazard said: "Leaving Chelsea is the biggest and toughest decision in my career to date.

"Now it’s in the open I would like to put on record one thing was always clear to me, I have loved every moment at Chelsea and not once did I ever consider, nor would I have left for any other club.

"Chelsea and especially Chelsea fans will always be special to me and next season I will look for your results first.

"I hope that we are drawn against each other in the Champions League next season and every season so we can meet again."
