As reported by the Independent, Maurizio Sarri has urged Eden Hazard to sign a new deal at Chelsea, insisting that the winger does not need to move to Real Madrid to win prestigious trophies.
Hazard has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months, with the reigning Champions League winners understood to have established an interest in signing the Belgian international.
However, Chelsea were able to retain Hazard’s services in the summer and are desperate to tie him down to a lucrative new contract.
Eden, for us, is important. He’s a fantastic player. It will be important for us if he remains with us. Very, very important. But I think also that he can win everything, possibly a Ballon D’Or, here.
The 27-year-old has often flirted with the prospect of arriving at Real Madrid in the future. Although, Hazard has also reiterated his happiness to be a key man for Chelsea in recent weeks, indicating that his future remains under scrutiny.
Sarri has led Chelsea to an unbeaten start to the season and Hazard’s form has been a contributing factor to this.
For example, Chelsea will be able to win the Champions League. Belgium could win the European Championship. He could win everything, without playing in Spain.
The former Lille star has netted eight goals in all competitions for the Blues this term and has also helped out with three assists.
