'Slavery was abolished a long time ago' - Hazard will leave Chelsea, says ex-Real Madrid president

Eden Hazard has been tipped to leave the “slavery” of Chelsea by former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon.

The Belgium international, who has long been linked with a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu, has continued to fuel transfer talk with comments regarding his future.

Hazard has ruled out a January move to Spain, but has conceded that Real remain his “dream” destination.

Calderon believes a move will happen as there is little point in those at Stamford Bridge keeping a player against his wishes, especially as his current contract is due to expire in 2020.
