Chelsea winger Eden Hazard hints at Real Madrid move

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has suggested that he is open to a transfer to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Hazard has enjoyed a successful six-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge, but the playmaker has been frequently linked with a switch to Madrid.

The Belgium international has less than 18 months remaining on his contract, and the 28-year-old has acknowledged that he could leave Chelsea for the Spanish giants in the summer.

Hazard told France Football: "Why not? You know it very well. You're asking the question, but you know what the answer will be so you don't have to ask it.

"I've won everything in England, apart from the Community Shield, but that doesn't mean I'm leaving. I've always said that I wanted to explore something different after England but there are also things that might make me stay.

"After the World Cup, I wanted to leave, but in the end I stayed at Chelsea and I'm playing one of the best seasons so far."

Hazard has contributed 12 goals and 10 assists from 28 appearances during the current campaign.
