Real Madrid-linked Hazard asks for extra day off but there's 'no problem' with Sarri

Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has not held discussions with Eden Hazard over the star forward's future and insists there is "no problem" with the Belgium international.

Hazard's future has been a subject of speculation over the close-season, with his superb showing during Belgium's run to the semi-finals of the World Cup again prompting links to Real Madrid.

Goal understands the Blues have offered Hazard a new contract that would see him become the club's highest-ever paid player but the Belgian is not close to signing the new terms at this stage .
