How Hazard plans to conduct himself amid exit rumours

Eden Hazard insists he will not be distracted by listening to the mounting speculation over his Chelsea future.

The Belgium international has just over a year remaining on his current contract and has shown no desire to accept Chelsea’s current £300,000-a-week offer.

Real Madrid came close to signing the 27-year-old last summer and are set to reignite their interest in the summer following the recent reappointment of Hazard’s idol Zinedine Zidane.
Chelsea are said to want at least £98.5million for their star forward after rejecting Real’s latest offer earlier this week. Speaking on his future ahead of Belgium’s Euro 2020 qualifiers against Russia and Cyprus, Hazard said:
“At the moment there’s nobody waiting for me. We still have 2 important months with Chelsea. We can win the Europa League. We have to win the Europa League or we have to finish in the top four to play in the Champions League.”

“I am only thinking about that (last two months with Chelsea), not about what might happen in two, three, four months. I don’t know. We will see.”
Chelsea are currently sixth in the Premier League table having taken just one point from a possible six against Wolves and Everton prior to the international break.

Maurizio Sarri’s side have been drawn against Slavia Prague in the quarter finals of the Europa League, meanwhile, a competition which increasingly looks likely to offer their best hope qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
