Hazard has only 18 months left on his current deal and has already refused to sign a mega offer on the table at Stamford Bridge that will make him the joint highest-paid player at the club, alongside N’Golo Kante. His stance not to extend has given reason to believe he wants to move out.

Courtois who moved to Real last summer says he would love to play with Hazard again.

“This is his decision and I cannot say much about it. But of course, I want to play with him at club level again, partly because he is a great player but also because he is my friend. If he came here (to Madrid) it would be good, but the decision is his.”
