After a tremendous seven years at Stamford Bridge, Eden Hazard has made it clear he thinks it is time for a new challenge.
However, reports on AS are suggesting that the move to Real Madrid that Hazard has been waiting for, is not going to be as smooth as it was initially hoped to be.
Hazard suggested that the final of the Europa League in Baku on Wednesday night was the final game he would ever wear the Blue shirt for, with a plan to sign the contract with Real Madrid on Thursday and fly out to Spain a couple of days afterwards. However, there has now been a delay in the signing of the contract.
Obviously, Chelsea are not going to give up the Belgian easily. He has had an immense impact on the team over the past seven seasons and it will, therefore, be hard for bosses at Stamford Bridge to let him go. Hazard has however stated that he will not extend his current contract, which takes him to June 2020.
Due to the fact bosses at Chelsea have delayed the contract signing, there is no confirmation as to when Hazard will officially leave the Blues and join Real Madrid, with the London side eager to hold out for much as money as possible.
