Former Chelsea playmaker and Real Madrid star, Eden Hazard has come out to clear the air on speculations flying around that he’s set to return to Chelsea this summer after a not too impressive season at Real Madrid and has clearly ruled out any possibility of making a return to Chelsea this summer.
Reports in several Spanish newspapers had earlier claimed that the Belgian is looking to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season and his preferred destination is Stamford Bridge.
Hazard made the move to Real Madrid from Chelsea in a £130 million deal in 2019, but has not been able to replicate the performance that made Madrid splashed such huge amount of money on him whilst he is now seen as a flop and bad signing by many Real Madrid fans, having struggled to make an impact during his time in the Spanish capital.
The 30-year-old started just seven games and subbed on in as many games in La Liga this season spent the better part of the season on injury bed.
Reacting to the speculations, Hazard said he is determined to put behind him the disappointment of this season and work hard to improve on his performance and prove himself at Real Madrid.
“Everyone knows that my first two years were not good, so first I want to prove myself at Real Madrid. I will do everything to do that,” Hazard said at a Belgium press conference ahead of Euro 2020.
Hazard added: “I certainly don’t see myself leaving Madrid, given the contract situation.
“I know myself and I know when I am in shape. If that is the case, I can give it my all for Real next season. That is my plan.”
