Hazard has less than two years left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge prompting doubts over his long-term future at Chelsea.

The former Lille man has repeatedly been linked with a move to European champions Real Madrid since the summer as a replacement for Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner swapped the Estadio Santiago Bernebeu for Juventus in the summer after the Old Lady paid a club record transfer fee of around €100m for the 33-year-old.
