Eden Hazard reaffirmed their intention to change immediately after the final whistle in the Europa League final against FC Arsenal (4-1). “I think it’s a goodbye,” said the Belgian after the final in Baku.
While the final match between the Blues and the Gunners was still going on, the British tabloid The Sun reported that Rela Madrid and Chelsea FC had reached an agreement to pay 130 million euros.
“I wanted a new challenge last year after the World Championship. But then it didn’t happen. Now I’m waiting,” said Hazard, announcing a decision in the near future: “We’ll see what happens in the next few days.”
He will always love Chelsea FC and their supporters, added Hazard, who led the Blues through two goals and a goal submission to the second Europa League triumph after 2013: “If this is a goodbye, I’d like to thank you for seven great years”.
Real President Florentino Perez had also hinted at a transfer on Monday during a performance on the radio station El Transistor and said that he wanted to bring Hazard to the Royals “for years already”: “I am very interested that he comes to us”.
