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.”
