Chelsea winger Eden Hazard is not expecting to leave the club this summer, despite links to Real Madrid.

According to Evening Standard journalist Simon Johnson, no meetings between Hazard and Real Madrid have been planned.

Johnson claims that the feeling from Hazard is that he will not depart Stamford Bridge in the next month.

Real Madrid are looking to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Juventus earlier this month, and have been heavily linked with a swoop for Hazard.

However, a deal has not been agreed and Real Madrid could move onto other targets, which would be a massive boost to Chelsea.

Madrid are expected to complete a deal for Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the coming weeks.
