Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard wants to stay at the club this summer amid reports of a potential move away, according to the Belgian's brother.

Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has reiterated his desire to stay at the club this summer amid reports of a potential move away, according to the Belgian's brother.

The 31-year-old has endured an injury-hit stay in the Spanish capital since making the move from Chelsea for around £103m in the summer of 2019.

As a result, Hazard has been linked with a transfer away from the Bernabeu in the upcoming transfer window, with the likes of AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal being registered with an interest.

However, his brother Kylian Hazard has told RTBF that his brother wants to stay and prove himself with Los Blancos next season.

"He's not going to leave Real until he proves he's the strongest there. He's proven at every club he's been to, and for me, he doesn't want to leave. I don't think he's going to leave", he told the Belgian broadcaster.

Although, he did also suggest that his brother could well leave Madrid on one condition: "But if the president wants him to leave, if he knows he has no more chances to play, then I don't think he will stay.

"But I can assure you of one thing: he will do everything possible to prove that he is the best player at Real."

Eden Hazard's last appearance came in the 3-0 win over Alaves back in February, and after being an unused substitute for several games since then, has now been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign with an ankle injury.
