Chelsea FC facing uphill battle to keep Eden Hazard – report
Chelsea FC are set to face a battle to keep hold of Eden Hazard this summer, according to reports
Chelsea FC are set to face a “desperate” battle to keep Eden Hazard at the club this summer, according to reports in the British media.
The Daily Mirror is reporting that Hazard could follow both Antonio Conte and Thibaut Courtois out of Stamford Bridge this summer as the speculation about the trio’s futures continue.
Hazard is widely considered to be one of the Premier League’s top attacking talents and he has been relentlessly linked with a move to Real Madrid in the past.
The same report says that Hazard could be set to leave Chelsea FC if the Blues fail to finish in the top four and secure a place in the Champions League for next season.
Chelsea FC are currently in fifth place in the Premier League table as they bid to try and get themselves back into the top four before the season is out.
According to the same story, both Courtois and Hazard are firm targets for Real Madrid this summer as the Spanish side look to strengthen their squad in all positions.
Hazard is yet to commit himself to a new contract at Stamford Bridge, and that’s despite the Blues reportedly being ready to make him the highest-paid player at the club with the offer of a new contract worth £300,000 a week.
Chelsea FC travel to Leicester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday.
