Three years after leaving Stamford Bridge, Eden Hazard can still continue to bring joy to Chelsea. And the fact is that if Real Madrid win the Champions League, they will have to pay a succulent amount to the Blues, due to a clause that was included at the time in the transfer of the Belgian international.

Real Madrid and Liverpool will meet in the Champions League final in Paris, a match that will be watched live by virtually the entire planet, eager to see the new European champion.

But there will be one club that will be watching the final more closely than the rest. It will be Chelsea, a team that could receive a succulent financial sum if Carlo Ancelotti's men end up beating the English in the final. 

This money, as 'The Sun' points out, would be part of the transfer of Eden Hazard, as one of the clauses in the Belgian international's contract states that Madrid will have to pay the Blues if their former player wins the Champions League

Apparently, according to the aforementioned media outlet, when the club paid Chelsea 102 million euros for Hazard, they agreed to raise this price to 152 million euros if a series of clauses were met, including the Champions League title. 

Although he will not be playing time in the final as he continues to recover from ankle surgery, the 31-year-old striker could be back in Chelsea's pockets three years after leaving Stamford Bridge.
