Eden Hazard undecided about his future at Chelsea

Belgian forward Eden Hazard said that he is undecided on whether to extend his stay with Premier League club Chelsea or pursue his dream move to Real Madrid in the La Liga.

With two years left in his contract with Chelsea, Hazard has been linked to a move to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

He is currently the top-scorer in the league so far, with seven goals from eight games so far.

I don’t want to say, ‘yes, I am signing a new contract’ and then, in the end, I don’t end up signing,” he said, as quoted by BBC Sport.

“I want what’s good for me, but I want what’s good for the club because the club has given me everything. So I will see. Sometimes in my head, I wake up in the morning and think I want to go. Sometimes I think I want to stay.

“It is a hard decision. It is my future,” he added further.

The 27-year old had joined Chelsea way back in 2012 from French Club Lille for a reported 32 million euros. So far, he has scored 76 goals with the Blues and have won the Premier League twice, going with an FA Cup and the Europa League title in 2013.

His teammate at the club, English midfielder Ross Barkley felt that it was indeed, “important” for someone with the talent of Hazard to be retained
by Chelsea.

“He’s been at Chelsea for a long time now and he’s achieved so much,” Barkley said.

“I’d love to play with him for many more years ahead. You can see how he’s started the season and the World Cup that he had, you don’t get many players like him. He’s capable of magic at any,” he opined.

Barkley added that sharing the dressing room with world-class players like Hazard is going to help him out in his career.

“Playing with world-class players is always going to improve me, and to play with them, to train with them on a day-to-day basis, you see the speed of thought, you see how much enjoyment they have in football and it has a big effect on yourself.”
