Eden Hazard will snub a move to Real Madrid in favour of staying at Chelsea
The 26-year-old Chelsea star has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid in recent weeks with Zinedine Zidane apparently keen on bringing him to the Bernabeu.
Real are prepared to spend big after having their FIFA imposed transfer ban lifted and view Hazard as a possible replacement for James Rodriguez and Isco should they leave.

However, the Evening Standard claim he will snub Real's advances and is happy to remain at Stamford Bridge under Antonio Conte.
It is claimed Hazard is relishing his new role in a 3-4-3 formation, which has seen Chelsea become a formidable force this season.

Hazard is also settled with his family in London, and with the Belgian rediscovering his goalscoring form it seems as if he has no intention of leaving Chelsea.
The forward has scored 11 goals in 26 Premier League games this season and is contracted to the club until 2020.
