Eden Hazard wants to quit Chelsea with Real Madrid ready and waiting to swoop
Speaking to reporters after beating England again at the World Cup he revealed he has a favoured new side
The Belgium star told reporters after beating England to third spot in the World Cup that he is ready to leave and had a new club in mind.
Real Madrid have categorically ruled out moves for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
But the former Lille man is certainly on their radar and he has taken a giant leap toward Spain with his most-match comments.
Hazard said: “After six wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different.
“Certainly after this World Cup. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision – if they want to let me go. You know my preferred destination.”
The playmaker also revealed that he and his Stamford Bridge team-mates have been expecting Maurizio Sarri to replace Antonio Conte for a while.
But it is not appear to have helped convince him to extend his stay in West London with Madrid desperate to land a new Galactico.
Hazard said: “We knew already for a while that Sarri was going to become the new manager.
“Is he a good manager? If he lets me win trophies, yes.
“Dries Mertens has told me he’s a good coach. We’ll have to work hard. The Italian way, but we were used to that with Antonio too.”
