Despite saying that the West Ham fans were wrong in singing that he is off to Real Madrid, latest reports suggest that the talismanic Belgian has no interest in renewing his contract at Chelsea should the Blues decide to play hardball with Real Madrid.

As a result, Chelsea will be forced to accept what Real Madrid offer them in the summer. Chelsea's valuation of Hazard stands at a £100 million. But the Blancos are not ready to pay that much for a player who wants to join them.

Should Chelsea now reject Real Madrid's advances, they stand the chance of losing Hazard on a free and could also see him potentially join a Premier League side. Hazard's two goals against West Ham this past week typified his importance at Chelsea and Maurizio Sarri had also subsequently joked that £100 million would be too cheap for a player like Hazard.
