Hazard produced another world-clbad show, scoring both goals against West Ham at Stamford Bridge, helping the Blues reach third place in the Premier League
Maurizio Sarri said Chelsea was "lucky" to have Eden Hazard, but it would be "very difficult" to keep him at the club this summer.
Hazard was in phenomenal form as he helped the Blues reach third place in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over West Ham at Stamford Bridge, scoring both goals.
West Ham could not stand Hazard's shine
The first goal of the Belgian was something to see as he crossed the heart of the midfield and defense Hammers before pbading the ball ahead of Lukasz Fabianski to break the impbade in the first half.
He then sealed the win with a tight finish in the corner of the net.
Until then, the season has been excellent for Hazard. He leads the Premier League for the most goals and helps this season with a combined total of 28.
Unsurprisingly, his form sparked a lot of interest for the player elsewhere, with Real Madrid strongly linked to Hazard.
Hazard seems destined to settle in Real Madrid
Latest reports suggest that Real will announce Hazard's signature in the coming days, according to Spanish media.
And Sarri made an honest badessment of Hazard's future in West London after the victory over West Ham.
Asked about his opinion on the asking price of £ 100 million from Hazard, Sarri said: "In this market it is too cheap.
"Hazard played a magnificent match, but I think he's played well against Brighton as well.
"When Hazard is able to play as he did in those games, we are lucky because it is very easy to win the game. He is able to make a difference.
Sarri admits that he will have a hard time keeping Hazard at the club
"I do not know [about Hazard’s future]I do not know at all … I think it's very difficult to change Hazard with another player.
"I can not do anything … but if Eden wants another experience, it's very difficult to keep it.
"We are trying to improve ourselves, we are trying to become one of the best teams in England and Europe, but I have to respect his decision."
This victory is a big result for the Blues, who face off against Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United to rank among the top four and coveted places in the Champions League.
Chelsea is third with 66 points, ahead of Spurs (64) and Arsenal (63), fourth and fifth respectively, while United ranks sixth with 61 points, although Chelsea played one more game than any other.
And despite the important result, Sarri thinks that his players must be more clinical.
He added, "I think we played a very good game against a very dangerous opponent.
"They have not been consistent but the quality of the players is very very high.
"We played very well in the first half and I think we could have scored more. I was happy with the performance but not the score.
"In the second half, for about ten minutes, we lost total control of the match before recovering it in the latter part of the match."
