Chelsea want £200million from Real Madrid for Eden Hazard

The highly speculated transfer of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid takes a dramatic twist as Chelsea have placed a £200million tag on Hazard. Real is willing to pay £150million for the Belgian ace but Chelsea want more than Neymar's world record £198million that Paris Saint-Germain paid Barcelona for the Brazilian forward. Following the turn of events, Real are reportedly ready to cool off their interest in Hazard. Hazard has two years left on his contract with Chelsea but hasn't renewed with the club despite Chelsea offering him a £300,000/week deal. The Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is ready to hand Hazard captaincy of the team to keep him happy. Hazard had hinted at the 2018 World Cup finals that he was ready to move to his dream club Real Madrid if he were made an offer.

Jose Mourinho has shown great interest in Chelsea's Willian while Real Madrid pursue their hunt for Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois.

New Chelsea boss Sarri is doing his best to retain his key players.

Regarding the £200million price tag for the 27 year old Belgian, former Blues defender Tony Dorigo was of the opinion that Chelsea shouldn't let Hazard go. He told talkSPORT a lot on the subject.

“I don’t think they should [sell him], but I think they will.

“£200m is a heck of a lot of money, but apart from Luka Modric, Hazard was the best player at the World Cup.

“He’s 27 years of age. Over the last two years, he’s been the best player in the league.

“And when he’s on form, he’s unstoppable.

“Some players you can’t defend against, he’s one of those.

“It’s a statement of intent from Chelsea. Do they want to be the very, very best?

“Or do they want to be close? Hazard’s one of those players you need.”

The finger-cutting tradition of Indonesia's Dani tribe

The death of a loved one is always an extremely painful thing to bear, and people of different cultures grieve in diverse ways, some more unique than others. A typically unique way of grieving is that of the Dani (an Indonesian tribe). Finger-cutting is a fundamental part of grieving for women of the Dani tribe, and pertains to their women only. According to The Globe and Mail, an estimated 250,000 Dani tribe members live in a town named Wamena, in the extremely remote central highland area of Papua Province. Wamena is only accessible by plane. Upon the death of a loved one, the top joint of one of a woman's fingers would be amputated, and smear ashes and clay across their faces. Prior to amputation, a string would be firmly tied to the upper half of the woman's finger for 30 minutes, to cause numbness. This was to reduce the pain from amputating the tip. In most cases, the responsibility of cutting off the top joint of the finger is assigned to one of the woman's...
