Eden Hazard Says He 'Always Said No' to PSG Despite Repeated Approaches

Signing for Paris Saint-Germain was not something Eden Hazard ever seriously considered, and the Real Madrid winger said he turned down advances from Les Parisiens on more than one occasion.

Hazard described to L'Equipe (h/t Marca) how his ties to Lille always prevented him from consenting to PSG's interest: "They often tried to recruit me, but I didn't want to return to Ligue 1 unless it was to join Lille. I always said no to them. It was clear in my mind that if I were to return to France it would be with Lille.
