Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes that Eden Hazard will '100%' stay at the club beyond the upcoming summer transfer window.

The former Chelsea winger has had two troublesome, injury-ravaged seasons at Real Madrid. He has only been able to make 43 appearances for Los Blancos, scoring five and assisting eight goals. As a result, rumors of a potential exit have been making the rounds.

However, Hazard's Belgium and Real Madrid teammate Thibaut Courtois believes the 30-year-old will stay at the club. The goalkeeper also added that Hazard doesn't want to leave Real Madrid, contrary to what the 'Madrid press' reports about him.

"I'm 100% sure he's staying. He doesn't want to move. Only the Madrid press writes about the desire to leave. He wants to continue, play free of injuries and win titles," the Belgium goalkeeper continued.
"At Real Madrid there is criticism all the time and for everyone. Gareth Bale was criticized, but he won the Champions League and scored a double in the final in Kyiv.
"We all know that in Madrid there is pressure and criticism from the press and the fans. But Eden can handle that. I know him well enough to say it. He can still change everything. He still wants to be an important player for Madrid and win titles," Courtois said in an interview with Le Soir.

"He knows the city and the fans. I think we can do great things together. I don't know him personally, but from what I've heard of him he's a very nice person who just wants to win, and that's what we all want. We'll have the chance to work together. It's good news for me," Hazard told RBTF.
