Large sections of the Chelsea fanbase have been longing for Eden Hazard to return Stamford Bridge for a while now but an exit from Real Madrid looks unlikely... at least for now
But, despite the trials and tribulations, the Belgium international is determined to prove himself in the Spanish capital instead of seeking a move elsewhere. Speaking to RTBF, as quoted by AS, Hazard revealed that he wants to stay at Real Madrid and that a transfer is not in his plans.
"I would like to stay," the former Blues winger said. "I have always said it. I hope to play to show that I can still do it. People have doubts, it's normal. I understand it really good. But for me, I'm still here next year.
"You never know, but a transfer is not in the plan. What can make me change my mind? I don't know. All I think about is playing. That's why I don't even think about leaving. Deep down, I think: 'I can contribute something'.
"Sorry, that's all. If I contribute a little, people will trust me again. They may tell themselves that they made a mistake in leaving me out. I only need minutes in my legs."
With Hazard eager to stay at Real Madrid, he outlined that, by using the World Cup as an example, he wants the opportunity to showcase his abilities. He added: "In the World Cup, I played one game, two games , three games, it was in crescendo...
"I'm not saying that after three months without playing I'm going to score five goals. No, I need time and at Real Madrid... there is no time. But I know what I can still contribute."
The Chelsea icon continued by revealing that, despite not keeping in contact with Ancelotti, there is a mutual respect between them. Hazard said: "There is respect between us. But I'm not going to say that we talk to each other, because we don't talk to each other.
"But there will always be respect. Even if he doesn't make me play tomorrow... I have to have respect for a guy like Carlo Ancelotti. In what he represents for football, what he has done in his career. No problem."

God Damn it Chelsea Hazard’s injury prone. The smallest niggle his on the bench for three months!! Money well spent I say. You know how to spend but invest in someone with pedigree you won’t! You’ve been longing Kante we understand.

It seems Chelsea can't trust Belgium players anymore at most we try our very best to keep them in our projects. we mentor them, we groom them, we train them and raise them to world class players road map but in return they deny us. with greedy and selfishness they abandon the club and leave. So it's upon them to revise their way of handling professional personalities "Only for the wise" if U know u know!!!!!

Carlo Ancelotti has lost faith in you. There are games where he can sit Vini for about 15 mins and let you finish it off and that doesn't happen. Another Bale situation. [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]

EH is right to stay at RM: 1. No one will pay his salary or his transfer price if he can’t prove that he’s still worth it. 2. He nearing the end of his playing career, his immediate departure will result in massive pay cuts and may even be to lower leagues teams in Europe. He has to make the decision to stay or leave, the club cannot force him to leave. FDJ did that at Barca
