The Belgium star told reporters after beating England to third spot in the World Cup that he is ready to leave and had a new club in mind.But the former Lille man is certainly on their radar and he has taken a giant leap toward Spain with his most-match comments.Hazard said: “After six wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different.“Certainly after this World Cup. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision – if they want to let me go. You know my preferred destination.”
The playmaker also revealed that he and his Stamford Bridge team-mates have been expecting Maurizio Sarri to replace Antonio Conte for a while.But it is not appear to have helped convince him to extend his stay in West London with Madrid desperate to land a new Galactico. Hazard said: “We knew already for a while that Sarri was going to become the new manager.“Is he a good manager? If he lets me win trophies, yes.“Dries Mertens has told me he’s a good coach. We’ll have to work hard. The Italian way, but we were used to that with Antonio too.”
