Eden Hazard confirms he’s leaving Chelsea after winning Europa League trophy

Chelsea talisman Eden Hazard says “I think this is goodbye” to the Stamford Bridge club after the club won the Europa League trophy in Baku.

The Belgium international scored a brace to help Chelsea win the trophy with 4-1 scoreline against Arsenal.

Hazard has been linked with a move to Real Madrid especially with Zinedine Zidane’s return to the Santiago Bernabeu.

“I think for the fans, for the boys, for the manager, for the staff, this is a great trophy to win,” he told BT.

“I don’t know yet [where my future lies] I think it will be decided in a few days. My target today was to win the trophy that’s it. That was the only thing in my mind.

“I took my decision already. I say that two weeks ago. Now it’s depending on the club. Both clubs. I’m just waiting. We will see. We will know in a couple of days.

“I think it’s a goodbye. But in football you never know. My dream was to play in the Premier League and I did this for seven years for one of the biggest clubs in the world. Maybe it’s time for a new challenge.”

Earlier in the week Los Blancos Florentino Perez said he ‘has a feeling’ that the Chelsea playmaker will join the club this summer.

“I have a feeling that Eden Hazard will be coming this year,” Perez told an interview on Onda Cero on Monday night.

“I am very interested in him coming to Real Madrid and I am very hopeful he will come in. He is one of the greats of the world of football.”

“How are we going to talk to a club that is playing a final (the Europa League), we have been trying for several years that Hazard is a Madrid player but we have not yet achieved it.”
