Hazard says ‘I have made my decision’ as Chelsea ace drops biggest hint yet Real Madrid transfer is on
EDEN HAZARD dropped his biggest hint yet that he IS off to Real Madrid — and revealed Chelsea already know his decision.
Confirming SunSport’s exclusive, the Belgian, 28, confessed: “I have made my decision. Yes, I told the club a couple of weeks ago.”
Chelsea want £100million for Hazard but boss Maurizio Sarri fuelled speculation that the club will reluctantly sell.
After yesterday’s 0-0 draw at Leicester confirmed they finished third in the Premier League, Sarri declared: “I know very well that Eden tried to do his best for seven seasons at Chelsea.
“He has become one of the best two or three players in the world.
“But I think also that we have to respect him and his decision.”
However, Sarri added: “I hope, of course, like every fan of Chelsea, he will remain with us. But at the moment I don’t know.”
Hazard’s last game looks sure to be the Europa League final against Arsenal on May 29.
At the final whistle yesterday he blew a kiss and gave a thumbs-up sign to Chelsea fans who chanted: “Eden Hazard, we want to you stay” after the final whistle at the King Power.
Asked if his future would be cleared up after the final in Baku, Hazard replied: “I think so. I have made my decision but it is not just about me.

“We have a final to play and then I will see.”
And when asked if he would have preferred to get the issue cleared up earlier in the season, he admitted: “I wanted that, but that’s not happened.
“When you are on the pitch, you try to be focused. That’s it. I just try to win games.”
