Eden Hazard has once again courted the interest of European champions Real Madrid.
The Belgian was the subject of interest from the Spanish giants in the summer and was prepared to move but remained at Stamford Bridge.
Maurizio Sarri was insistent that Chelsea hold on to their star man, and he has repaid the Italian's faith with seven goals and eight assists in the league this season.
But his contract with the Premier League club expires in 2020 and he appears unlikely to extend his deal further.
