Chelsea star Eden Hazard has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, something that would obviously spell disaster for the Blues who will desperately try and avoid such a thing.

Transfer rumours come and go all the time so it’s no surprise that Hazard, one of the most highly rated stars on the planet, is a constant source of media attention when it comes to being linked with transfers.

However, there’s something about this summer’s speculation surrounding his future that seems to be rather more concrete than in previous transfer windows.

This week it has been reportedly that Hazard’s father contacted Real Madrid just days before last month’s Champions League final, in order to discuss a move for his son to Los Blancos.

If true, it means the Belgian looks set to end his six year stay at Chelsea, where he has played a star role in them winning two Premier League titles.

Before the World Cup started, Hazard admitted he could be persuaded by the lure of Madrid, but said he would wait to see what the situation at Chelsea would be like for next season: “I do not want to talk about transfer 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. But if tomorrow this club does not want me, we will not talk about it anymore. 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.”

Hazard has always flirted with a move to Real, and according to Marca, Hazard’s father Thierry took matters into his own hands by contacting the La Liga giants to offer them the chance to sign his 27-year-old son.

He reportedly explained that talks over a new deal at Chelsea were on hold as Hazard believes the time is now right to move on.
