The Belgian star said at the weekend that he had told Chelsea that he had made up his mind about his future – which is that he wants to go to Real.
Express Sport can reveal that Hazard went public about his feelings after the 0-0 draw with Leicester, and the fact that he wants his future resolved, out of sheer frustration that Chelsea and Real are no nearer agreeing a deal after weeks of talks.
Real have already offered around £85million for the 28-year-old Belgian captain, but Chelsea want around £112m – and an agreement between the clubs has still not been reached.
Hazard has finalised his own terms with Real on a move – but Chelsea are holding out for the full figure for their star player, who still has a year of his contract to go and will not sign a new one.
The Belgian, asked if he had told the club of his decision, said: "Yes. A couple of weeks ago. I have made my decision - but it is not just about me."
Asked if he had wanted his future resolved earlier, Hazard said: "Yes, I wanted that but that's not happened. I'm still waiting like you are waiting and like the fans are waiting."
Real Madrid are willing to go as high as £87m for Hazard - but have not yet tabled that bid.
The Spanish club want to complete the deal and unveil Hazard straight after the Europa League final where Chelsea face Arsenal in Baku on May 29.

But that agreement is still some way off – and Hazard has grown increasingly frustrated.
The Belgian has scored 16 goals in 37 Premier League games this season.
Chelsea are expected to cash in on Hazard eventually, even though they have a FIFA transfer ban hanging over them which they are appealing against.
Real Madrid are looking to overhaul their squad this summer after being trounced by Barcelona in La Liga.
Los Blancos were also knocked out of the Champions League by Dutch giants Ajax in shocking fashion.
