Maurizio Sarri has declared that Eden Hazard is staying at Chelsea, with a man being heavily linked with Real Madrid tipped to become one of the best players in the world at Stamford Bridge.
The Belgium international, who has seen talk of a switch to Spain build steadily over recent years, has kept the rumour mill ticking over with non-committal comments regarding his future.
He has conceded that he considers Madrid to be a “dream” destination and feels a move to La Liga may be required in order to fulfil his Ballon d’Or ambition.
Sarri believes that Hazard is destined to join the global elite, but feels a player tied to Chelsea until 2020 should be looking to stay put and further his career in England.
“Hazard’s approach is a positive, but it can become a potential limitation too. He needs to lift his head up, look around and realise there’s a whole world in front of him that he can dictate with his feet for the good of the collective and not just the individual.
“He said such kind words about me, I wasn’t expecting that.
“His contract expires in 2020, but he’s staying here.
“I was tempted to use Hazard as a centre-forward and I might consider it again in future, but it’s not the right time now. We need to believe in Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.”
