Chelsea have been urged to respect Eden Hazard’s wishes when it comes to a summer transfer, with Frank Lampard saying the Blues should not block the Belgian’s path if he wants to leave.
Speculation continues to suggest that the 28-year-old is destined to link up with Real Madrid.
Hazard has made no secret of his admiration for the Blancos and admitted to being keen on testing himself in Spain as he seeks to earn Ballon d’Or recognition.
He is about to enter the final 12 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and has offered no indication that he will be committing to fresh terms.
