Eden Hazard has rejected the chance to extend his Chelsea contract in order to encourage interest from Real Madrid, according to the player's father.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte admitted this month that there had been contact with the Belgium international's agent over the prospect of a new deal, with the Premier League champions reportedly willing to offer wages of £300,000 per week.
Thierry Hazard has now cast further doubt on his son's long-term future at Stamford Bridge by claiming he has already put off talks over an extension while he waits to see if the European champions will make an offer.
"Eden has refused a contract extension to possibly give effect to interest from Real Madrid, where he sees himself playing," he tod Le Soir.
"But, at the moment, there is no contact at all."
"I do not know what will happen in my career in the future. However, for sure, to play under Zidane would be a dream," he told RTL.
"I am enjoying life at Chelsea. I still have a lot of things to achieve with them. I am focused on playing for Chelsea."
