Eden Hazard will continue playing for Chelsea the next seasons. Although Real Madrid were interested in getting him on board, the playmaker has shut the door to the Spanish giant and he will keep working for the Blues. Now, Real Madrid main targets are Kylian Mbappé and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
A lot of rumours were triggered at the end of the season around Eden Hazard. Florentino Pérez has followed him for many years and it seemed that Real Madrid were going to try to sign him in the summer after his great season with Chelsea, where he has won the Premier League title again with Antonio Conte.
However, these rumours have lost strength in the last few weeks. The Belgian footballer got injured in his ankle and he’ll rest a few weeks, missing the start of the pre-season. Now, he has talked with the British newspaper Mirror about his future: “Hopefully, next year it is the same — we win the league and then I win Player of the Year”, Hazard said.
The playmaker also spoke about his feelings about Chelsea: “I’ve been here for five years now and I’m so happy”. “I’m at one of the best clubs in the world, so I’m very happy to play for such a big club like this”, the Belgian player commented.
He says also that the club is like his family, so he’s very comfortable playing for them: “After five years, I know everything about the club. Even if I’m still only 26, I have a lot of experience now. I started playing at 16 in France, so I’ve been professional for 10 years. In terms of games and experience, I’m one of the oldest ones. I like this club because it’s like a family. I have a lot of friends and we all talk to each other”, the playmaker said.
