Eden Hazard has already made it clear that going back
to Chelsea is ‘out of the question’ as he has been linked with a
return to Stamford Bridge once again.
The Belgium winger’s future at Real Madrid is up in the air after an
injury-hit two seasons in La Liga where he has failed to reach the
heights he hit in the Premier League with the Blues.
Naturally, a reunion with his former employers has been
speculated after seven brilliant years at Chelsea with two league
titles to his name.
And those rumours have resurfaced this week as AS report that
Hazard has been offered to Thomas Tuchel’s men as Madrid look
to offload the 30-year-old this summer.
It’s claimed that any potential move is a long shot, however, as the
Spanish giants would need to recoup at least £51million to avoid
making a loss following Hazard’s £89m transfer two seasons ago.
It’s not just the forward’s price that is a major stumbling block
though as a return to Chelsea doesn’t seem to interest Hazard in
the slightest.
He plans to fight for his place at Madrid and ‘prove’ himself after a
difficult start to life in Spain’s capital.
He said on May 26: “I still have a three-year contract with Real
Madrid, so going back to England is out of the question. Everyone
knows that my first two years were not good, so first I want to
prove myself at Real Madrid. I will do everything to do that.
“I certainly don’t see myself leaving Madrid, given the contract
situation.
“I know myself and I know when I’m in shape. If that’s the case, I
can give it my all for Real next season. That’s my plan.”
Hazard has also said he is looking forward to working with his new
boss Carlo Ancelotti.
He said at Euro 2020: “Everyone at Real Madrid knows what
Ancelotti has brought to the club.
“He won the Champions League with this group and he knows a lot
of the players.
“We know that he is a coach with a lot of experience. He knows the
city and the fans. I think we can do great things together.
“I don’t know him personally, but from what I’ve heard of him he’s
a very nice person who just wants to win, and that’s what we all
want.
“We’ll have the chance to work together. It’s good news for me.”
