Willian: Hazard never talks about Real Madrid

Willian believes his team-mate, Eden Hazard, will stay in Chelsea even after this season, despite continuing interest from Real Madrid to transfer Belgian.

The Belgian star has been linked to a transfer to the Spanish capital continuously over the past few years. Even in October, Hazard had admitted that he dreams of playing for “Los Blancos” one day.

Real Madrid has intensified interest in Hazard this week after Zinedine Zidane returned to the position of coach. On Wednesday it was reported that Real Madrid had contacted Chelsea to announce this interest.

Before Thursday’s European league game, against Dynamo Kyiv, Chelsea winger Willian, was asked by reporters if he is worried about a possible Hazard’s departure this summer.

The Brazilian responded praising his teammate for his unique field skills before insisting that Belgium never spoke about the possibility of transferring to Real Madrid.

“It’s a difficult question. First of all, I hope he will stay with us. But in football you can never predict what will happen, “Willian said.

“Of course, Eden is a fantastic player, one of the best in the world. He is my friend, one of the best players I’ve played in all of my career. I just have to say that I hope he will stay with me. ”

“I have no doubt he is focused here. Of course, he wants to play, wants to help us win something this season. He has never said anything about Real Madrid or anything else. He just wants to continue playing for Chelsea. “
