Hazard admits he could leave Chelsea this summer, saying "it might be time
to discover something different".
Ahead of this summer's World Cup, Hazard said that Real Madrid "know what
they need to do" to sign him, admitting he could be interested in a move to
the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid are in the market for a forward following the departure of
Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus, but have recently denied making a
world-record bid for Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar.
Speaking after Belgium's 2-0 win over England, Hazard told Belgian outlet
HLN: "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."
Hazard has also previously said he would wait for clarity over the future of
former boss Antonio Conte before making a decision over his future. Chelsea
appointed Maurizio Sarri as their new head coach on Saturday.
He added: "We knew already for a while that Sarri was going to become the
new manager. If he's 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."
