Hazard says he has no reason to leave Chelsea
Chelsea winger Eden Hazard says he has no reason to leave the club at the moment, despite continued interest from Real Madrid.
Speaking exclusively to French football magazine Onze Mondial, Hazard discussed the reported interest from Madrid but admits that everything is set up perfectly for him at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard likened his current situation to what happened to him in Lille, where he was a key player in the Ligue 1 side.
I have always been like that [not looking to move] when everything goes well. When you change, it’s because something is not well. If in your job everything is great and you’re the boss, you move? Why would you want to move? You’re not going to change, right? Besides, you know everyone, you’re good, all that.
That’s what happened to me in Lille. I knew everyone, it was the best. And when I felt that I had to change, I left. And here at Chelsea, it’s the same thing. This is my sixth year. I have my family who is there. My wife and children feel great. I am not far from Belgium so my relatives and my parents or my brothers can come quite often. I am in a big club. Every year, I win almost a trophy. On the pitch, it’s going really well, too.
Madrid have been linked with a move for Hazard for some time with Zinedine Zidane thought to be a huge admirer of the Belgian.
The winger joined Chelsea in 2012 from Lille and has gone on to establish himself as one of the best players in the Premier League and in Europe.
Under Antonio Conte, he was instrumental in Chelsea’s title success last season.
