Eden Hazard turned down the offer of a new deal at Chelsea in order to increase his chances of moving to Real Madrid, claims his father.
The
Belgian forward claimed last month that 'everyone knows the admiration I
have for Real Madrid', increasing speculation he could leave Stamford
Bridge.
Now Thierry Hazard, Eden's father, has fanned the flames, although he also admitted there is no concrete bid yet.

Thierry Hazard says his son is keen to move, despite his current contract running to 2020
He told Le Soir:
'What I can reveal about Eden is that he refused a contract
extension. This was so that, if necessary, he could follow the interest
of Real, whom he could see himself playing for.
'As of right now, there is no contact from Real Madrid. Eden is only one of the parties involved in his future '
Hazard remains under contract at Chelsea until 2020, however a move in the summer cannot be ruled out if Real make a huge bid.
He
has been one of Chelsea's most impressive and consistent performers
recently, and was key in Antonio Conte's title winning side in 2016-17.
Hazard has scored eight times and assisted a further eight goals for Chelsea in all competitions so far this season.
