Eden Hazard rejects Chelsea contract offer amid Real Madrid links | OneFootball

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has rejected a new contract from the club, his father has revealed.

Speaking to Le Soir, Thierry Hazard admitted that the 26-year-old is yet to commit to Chelsea despite an offer from the club.

Hazard’s current contract at Stamford Bridge runs to 2020 and Chelsea will be desperate not to let him reach the summer of 2019 without signing a new deal.

That deadline is fast approaching and, though Hazard Snr. says there’s nothing in the pipeline, it makes a move at the end of the season a real possibility.

Links with Real Madrid have persisted throughout Hazard’s career but nothing came of links in the summer after Chelsea’s title success.

This year, with the Blues so far behind Manchester City in the Premier League, that could change.

Chelsea are also having issues tying down Thibaut Courtois, who has also been linked with a move to the Spanish champions.
