"Zidane has been my idol, I started playing football thanks to him", assured the Belgian striker, concentrated with his team, in the umpteenth wink he has dedicated to Madrid in recent times.

The end of Chelsea ends his contract in 2020 and his name has sounded very strong to strengthen the white team. His great World Cup in Russia seemed to bring him closer to Madrid ("it's time for a change", he said), but the refusal of the London team postponed his arrival, which could crystallize this summer.

In September 2018, in statements to BT Sports, Hazard commented that "after the World Cup I was eager to leave since my dream is to play one day in Spain" and added that "I have two years left on my contract. I can sign a new deal, but maybe not. I do not know".

On October 8, after a game against Southampton, he declared that " Madrid is the best club in the world, I do not want to lie, it's my dream since I was a kid". The constant displays of affection from the Belgian towards the white club came to impatience Chelsea, who through the mouth of coach Maurizio Sarri came to warn Hazard that "it is time to make a decision" regarding the offer of renewal.

"You already know my favorite destination"

Even during the World Cup, Eden Hazard continued leaving for Madrid. "Real Madrid can interest me, everyone knows it. If they do not love me, they will not talk about it. If they want to buy me, they know what they have to do, "he said when he was concentrated with the Belgian national team.

"After six wonderful years at Chelsea, it might be time to discover something more. Especially after the World Cup. My future? I can decide if I want to stay or leave, but Chelsea will make the final decision. You already know what my favorite destiny is, "he went on to say, without a word on his tongue.

After months of winking indiscriminately, may finally, Madrid take the step of tackling once and for all his signing.
