OMG: See the demand on demand Hazard makes to board as club offer him five-year deal
EDEN HAZARD has told Chelsea he
will not extend his stay with them unless they claw themselves back into the
Champions League, reports say.
Real Madrid had been touted as
the most likely destination, especially after the departure of Cristiano
Ronaldo - who left for Juventus earlier this summer.
Hazard had flirted with a
transfer away several times but announced recently he would not be going anywhere
this year. "For the moment, I am happy,” said Hazard. “I have two more
years of contract and we will see what will happen.
“Leave this year? I will not
leave. I’m fine here, we’ll see what happens in a year or two.” And there is a
contract offer waiting on the table for the 27-year-old.
Chelsea have offered the winger
£300,000-a-week on a five-year deal but as of yet there has been no inclination
that this contract will be signed.
The Champions League remains
the biggest prize Hazard has yet to win at club level and is his biggest dream.
Since his move to Stamford Bridge six years ago, it has been his major priority
but as of yet, the Blues are miles off becoming potential winners.
They finished fifth last year
meaning they must ply their trade in the Europa League this season. And according to The Sun,
Hazard will only think about signing a new deal if a return to Europe's
prestigious competition is made this year.
The former Lille forward has
two years left on his current contract, but even if he signs a new one it does
not necessarily guarantee his future at the west London outfit.
Chelsea travel to Newcastle
United in the Premier League next weekend. Hazard could make his first start of
the season at St James's Park. He's been named on the bench for the first two
matches against Huddersfield and Arsenal. Chelsea have won both matches (3-0
and 3-2).
