Eden Hazard has ruled out a departure from Real Madrid as he looks to force himself into Carlo Ancelotti's plans. The 32-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu, having recently entered the final 18 months of his contract.
He's suffered a number of injuries since joining the Spanish giants from Chelsea nearly four-years ago and, as a result, the winger has found himself out of favour. Even when match fit, Hazard has struggled to dislodge Vinicius Junior or Marco Asensio from the starting line-up. Indeed, even Federico Valverde, who is typically a box-to-box midfielder, has been preferred on the right-wing at times.
But, despite the trials and tribulations, the Belgium international is determined to prove himself in the Spanish capital instead of seeking a move elsewhere. Speaking to RTBF, as quoted by AS, Hazard revealed that he wants to stay at Real Madrid and that a transfer is not in his plans.
