Hazard ‘not thinking’ of future amid Real Madrid links
Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard insists he is not thinking about his long-term future and a possible move to Real Madrid as the Blues edge closer to a possible Premier League and FA Cup double.
The Belgium international has been heavily linked with a possible £100m summer move to the Spanish giants while there has also been speculation that Chelsea are looking to tie him down to a new contract.
Hazard insists there is nothing to report on the contract front and says he is keeping his thoughts firmly on on-field matters, with Chelsea still in the hunt for a Premier League and FA Cup double.
He told Sky Sports: “There is no sign of a new contract for the moment. I am focused on the last month, and we will talk later.
“It’s not in my mind now. I have two or three years left. I just want to finish the season well and we will see afterwards.”
Hazard produced another starring performance at the weekend to help Chelsea reach the FA Cup final, the 26-year-old climbing off the bench to help Antonio Conte’s men record a 4-2 semi-final win over Tottenham.
Hazard admits he trying to be more selfish – when the situation fits.
He said: “He’s not the only one to say that to me, a lot of people say to me you need to be more selfish, but when I’m on the pitch sometimes I prefer to pass the ball.
“If I can go alone, I will go alone. If I pass it’s because in my mind the pass is better than going alone.
“I try game after game to be more selfish. I know it’s good for me to score more goals if I want to reach the level of Messi and (Cristiano) Ronaldo. I am working on it.”
