Hazard, who was named France’s Player of the Year yesterday, said on Twitter: “Two games more to play in the colours of Lille.”
Tottenham and Arsenal are also interested in Hazard, 21, but it is seen as a straight fight between City and rivals Manchester United for the star.
City boss Roberto Mancini said: “I like Hazard a lot. He’s young and would do great things in our team.”
