Eden Hazard and his Chelsea and Belgium teammate Thibaut Courtois are linked with a move to Real Madrid after the end of the 2017/18 season.

Hazard, 27, has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in the summer amid interest from Real and Paris Saint-Germain.

The Belgium international is close to signing a new contract at Stamford Bridge after Real Madrid gave up their interest.

The Blues bounced back after back-to-back heavy defeats against Bournemouth and Watford, respectively, by beating West Brom 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Eden Hazard says he is happy at Chelsea but has again refused to rule out a move to Real Madrid as contract talks with the Blues continue.

Hazard has been urged to sign a new deal by Manager Antonio Conte but there has been no movement on that front thus far.

Hazard's deal with the Blues runs till 2020 but Hazard is in no rush to put pen to paper and is waiting to see if clubs across Europe can match Chelsea's offer.

Antonio Conte fears losing Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois will send the wrong message and could damage Chelsea's chances to compete for major honours.

The Belgian will have only a year left on his current deal after the season and would need a sumptuous offer to put pen to paper.

The 26-year-old has two-and-a-half years left on his Blues contract and is understood to be happy at Stamford Bridge.

The Belgian forward has reportedly been offered a £300,000-a-week deal, which would make him the highest paid player in Chelsea's history.

While Antonio Conte is hopeful of Eden Hazard signing a new contract for Chelsea, he believes the Belgian star has room for improvement as he approaches the peak of his career.

Eden Hazard, 26, said in an interview last week that he admired 12-time European champions Real Madrid but that he was happy at Chelsea for now.
