SPORTS - Eden Hazard will not join Real Madrid says, Father

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard will not be moving to Real Madrid even in the near future according to his father Thierry.

Los Blancos have constantly linked with a move for the 27-year-old Belgium number 10, who has less than two years remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Hazard has opted to remain with dethroned Premier League Champions for at least one more season after the arrival of new head coach Maurizio Sarri, and his father has claimed that a future move to the Spanish capital may not happen in future.

Thierry is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "I cannot say why it did not go through. Not because I do not want to but because I do not know.
"Next year, Eden will have one year left on his contract but perhaps he never ends up in Madrid."
Hazard could make his first start of the season when Chelsea face Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday afternoon.
