Chelsea star, Eden Hazard takes final decision on Real Madrid move

By Promise Amadi

Chelsea star, Eden Hazard, has said he will not leave the club this summer because they won’t be able to sign a replacement.

Hazard hinted that his time at Chelsea could be coming to an end after the World Cup, when he said he wanted to “discover something different,” amid rumours of a move to Real Madrid.

But the 27-year-old has now pledged commitment to Chelsea for the foreseeable future.

“Everybody knows what I have said after the World Cup. But I’m happy here,” he told RMC Sport after the 3-2 win over Arsenal.

“A lot has been said. A lot of stupidity too. But at the moment I’m happy.

“I have two years left on my contract and we’ll see what happens. Leaving this year? I won’t go. The transfer market in England is closed. Clubs can still sell players, but not sign new ones anymore. It would be a bit strange that they would sell me now while they can’t sign a replacement.

“We could see today that fans love me. I’m fine here. We’ll see what happens in a year or two.”
