Hazard has been publicly expressing his desire to play for Madrid. Cesc Fabregas delivers huge update on Eden Hazard’s Chelsea future.
The future of Eden Hazard will be a talking point for the rest of the season. The Chelsea star has openly admitted that it would be a “dream” to play for Real Madrid, with Los Blancos reportedly keen on signing him again this summer. Madrid were linked with a move last summer, but Hazard stayed put. His former teammate Cesc Fabregas believes that Hazard will stay at Stamford Bridge. Fabregas left west London to join Monaco in January, but he does not think Hazard will be following him out of the Stamford Bridge exit door any time soon.
Speaking to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser , the former Arsenal and Chelsea man said, “I think he’s going to extend his contract with Chelsea. He’s a loyal player. He told me he would never fight with Chelsea to leave. This is his club, he has won so much in England. This is just what I think. But I know him well. If he has made a decision, it would never be to let the club down in the middle of the season. He would not do that.” Hazard has on several occasions refused to pledge his commitment to Chelsea. Eden Hazard has left the door open to joining Real Madrid. The Belgium international has long been a target of Real Madrid.
Author’s Take:
The recent comment of Fabregas may give Chelsea fans some hope that Hazard might stay at Stamford Bridge. The fact that Chelsea have extended contracts of Kante, Azpilicueta and Marcus Alonso, it seems Chelsea are content with the Belgian leaving. If Eden Hazard wants to leave Chelsea, then Chelsea should allow him to leave. There’s no point in giving a contract to a player who wants to play for an elite club
