Chelsea star Eden Hazard has been linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona, but the Belgian has been tight lipped about where he will play next season, but he has never hidden his desire to play for Real Madrid.

When asked about his future during the World Cup, Hazard insisted that his focus was on the World Cup and he will speak about his future after the tournament.

After helping Belgium win the third place game against England, Hazard has now spoken about his future, and if you can read between the lines, the Chelsea star has suggested that his heart is set out for a move to Real Madrid, but he won’t force an exit.

He said: “After six wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different.

“Certainly after this World Cup. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision – if they want to let me go. You know my preferred destination.
