But given the club’s current struggles, supporters could not blame Hazard if he again tries to seek an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer.
And according to Spanish outlet AS, Real Madrid have hatched a plan to sign Hazard which involves Thibaut Courtois.
The goalkeeper had just a year left on his contract and did not want to extend, meaning Chelsea had no option but to sell for £35million to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
The Champions League holders will now look to carry out the same operation for Hazard this month seeing as his contract expires in 2020.

No club in the world can afford to lose a player of Hazard’s quality on a free transfer which means Roman Abramovich maybe forced into selling his main star.
Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur recent said: “Hazard has rejected two offers to renew with [Chelsea] until now and says he does not want to sign anything right now.
“[He is] waiting for something, and that something only means one thing: Real Madrid."
The player himself recently claimed he has made his mind up about his future.

"I've already decided, I know what I want to do, but for now the only thing I have to think about is playing well with Chelsea,” Hazard said.
“I have a year and a half of contract, everyone knows, my decision will soon be known, but it is not something that is bothering me.”
It remains unclear whether Sarri will be in charge come the end of the season, but he still urged Hazard to leave the club if that’s what he is set on.
The Italian said: “Eden is 28. If he wants to go, I think he has to leave, of course, I expect the opposite to happen, that he wants to stay here, he has the potential to be the best player in Europe at the moment.”
