"E. Hazard, Thinking About 'Real,' Rejects 'Chelsea' Offer for a New Contract"

Undoubtedly one of the most important players of London's "Chelsea" this season, Eden Hazard is not sure how much longer he will play in the "Blues" jersey.

As reported by "The Times," the 26-year-old star of the Belgian national team rejected Chelsea's offer to sign a new contract. The English champions offered the attacking midfielder to become the highest-paid player in their club's history (300 thousand pounds per week - ed. note), but the player resisted such temptations.

It is said that the main reason for this is Real Madrid. E. Hazard believes that a new contract would block his path to the Spanish capital.

E. Hazard has mentioned more than once this season that he feels great admiration for Real Madrid and their coach Zinedine Zidane.

The Spanish club also promises to seek reinforcement in the summer and sees the Belgian as an ideal replacement to later replace Cristiano Ronaldo and become one of the team's leaders.

Belgian this season in the "Chelsea" jersey scored eight goals in 20 games played and made seven assists.
