But the 25-year-old insists he had no intention of leaving Chelsea and would only ever move on after winning the Premier League.
“Back in March I’d spoken [to Conte] about the difficult season I’d had up to then, and what he expected of me in the year to come," Hazard told The Guardian.
"I’d not scored many goals, but he saw me as a goalscorer. He spoke to me about his preferred systems, the 3-4-3 or even with two up front. His passion and enthusiasm for the job were obvious.
