Hazard Opens Chelsea Exit Door with Real Message

Eden Hazard has refused to commit his future to Chelsea and left the door open to a summer transfer by telling Real Madrid “if they want to buy me, they know what to do”.

The Belgium international, who is currently away on World Cup duty, has long been linked with a big-money move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Quizzed again on the Madrid rumours by L’Equipe , the two-time Premier League title winner said: “I do not want to talk about transfers right now. I have been asked so many times about that. I am focused on the World Cup.

“But, as I said before, I won everything in London except the Champions League. If I’m here in my career, it’s thanks to Chelsea.

“It would be too easy to say: I want to leave because I have done everything. It is for that before everything that I would really like to know what will happen at the club next year.

“I am waiting to see if the coach stays or leaves.

“If I stay, it will be because the team will be better than the season we have just had. I do not want to stay if we are less good.

“Real Madrid can interest me, everyone knows it.

“If they want to buy me, they know what to do.

“Go there for the sake of it… no. It takes a project. I still have a project in Chelsea. If I have a good World Cup, things will be easier.”
