Belgium coach Marc Wilmots 'wants Eden Hazard to leave Chelsea for Real Madrid'

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots is reportedly keen on his star player Eden Hazard leaving Chelsea to join Real Madrid in the summer.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a switch to the Bernabeu following a stuttered start to Chelsea's season.

Hazard's form has come into question, with manager Jose Mourinho also criticising aspects of his player's game.

According to The Telegraph, the footballer's national coach Wilmots wants Hazard to quit Chelsea for Madrid due to fears of burnout ahead of next summer's European Championships in France.

Wilmots is also believed to be pushing for Hazard to move to Spain in order to give the player more freedom.

Meanwhile, reports in France have emerged claiming that the playmaker has told friends that he desires a move to Madrid at the end of the season.
