Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes Eden Hazard would be a good fit for Real Madrid when the Belgian makes the move to the Spanish giants.
Chelsea star Eden Hazard has the talent and personality to play for La Liga giants Real Madrid, according to his former manager.
Hazard, 28, revealed earlier this month he had made a decision on his future, but whether he is staying at Stamford Bridge or leaving remains unclear.
Hazard, who is contracted to Chelsea until 2020, played under Mourinho during his second spell as manager at Stamford Bridge.
The Belgium international impressed for the Blues in their Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City on Sunday and Mourinho feels he could have a future at the Bernabeu.
“Does he have the talent to play for Real Madrid? He does,” said Mourinho, who was covering the cup final for sports streaming service DAZN Espana.
“Does he have the personality to put on a ‘super-heavy’ shirt and play in front of the fans at the Bernabeu? Yes, he has the personality.
“Regarding Eden’s ambitions… be it playing for Chelsea his whole life or playing for a giant like Real Madrid, I can’t say, because I haven’t spoken to him for a long time.”
Hazard arrived at Chelsea from Lille in 2012 and has won two Premier League titles and the Europa League with the club.
Mourinho also revealed he is keen to return to management in June, having been sacked as Manchester United boss in December.
“In this short phase of my life, which I hope is only until June, I’m more concerned about what others would do than what I would do,” he added.
