Chelsea have been handed a major boost in their bid to re-sign Eden Hazard thanks to the latest from Carlo Ancelotti.
Hazard left Stamford Bridge in June 2019 to complete his dream of playing for Real Madrid. The deal was worth around £150m and involved Hazard signing a five-year deal at the Bernabeu.
However, things have not gone well for the attacker in Spain. A run of injuries and fitness issues have limited him to less than 17 league appearances in each season. That’s a huge decrease on his reliability at Chelsea, where he rarely missed even a couple of weeks.
Hazard’s problems have seen him fall out of favour under Ancelotti. The Italian tends to use Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in wide areas. With Marco Asensio also at his disposal there is little room for Hazard in the starting eleven.
When asked about the Belgian recently, Ancelotti admitted a transfer could take place. “Never in my coaching career have I forced a player to stay when they want to leave,” he said (via Goal). “In my personal opinion, there is no question about that.
