Chelsea intends to resist any attempt by Real Madrid to eliminate Eden Hazard this summer, although the Belgian striker has suggested that time could be given to him after six good years at Stamford Bridge
. Captain of his country to a third place at the World Cup, doubt of his future after the victory of Saturday on England. This was quickly followed by fellow countryman and teammate Thibaut Courtois who hinted that his own tournament performances proved that it was better than the case of 200,000 pounds a week on the table at Chelsea since the end from last year. [19659003] Although the club may be willing to sell Courtois, with the goaltender having drifted in the last 12 months of his contract, and Chelsea not losing him for nothing, there is no desire to separate of Hazard. The 27-year-old is under contract until 2020 and Chelsea had hoped to tie him to new terms of a record amount of £ 300,000 a week. This may be optimistic in the short term, but they are ready to reject any offer in this transfer window from Real, who long covet Hazard and who are likely to be in the market for an attacker after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus. ] Hazard has long stated that he sees a future for himself at Bernabéu, although Chelsea does not anticipate it by waving for a transfer. He, like Courtois, attended a reception with King Philippe in Brussels on Sunday to mark the success of the World Cup in Belgium and will be granted a holiday before presenting himself in Chelsea, now under the tutelage of Maurizio Sarri, early August. Courtois will then talk about his future with the club, but he suggested that he would seek to improve conditions proposed midway through last season.
He has kept three draws in seven games in Russia, including two against England. The 26-year-old, out of Genk in 2011 and extremely impressive thanks to a three-year loan to Atlético Madrid, is based in London but his former partner lives in Madrid with the two children of the couple, and Real has long kept an interest in bringing it back to La Liga. This interest has never been formalized but alarmingly for Chelsea, Courtois has not ruled out staying at Stamford Bridge for the last year of his contract if the new contract did not meet his expectations.
"I'll come back, that's for sure, and I'll see what they want [to do] and how they say it," Courtois said Saturday. "Obviously with this World Cup, I think what was on the table is obviously different from what I may have, maybe … In this World Cup, I've ignored all the speculation, all the rumors But now, in the next few days, I'll be chatting with my agent and I'll see what Chelsea told him, and then we'll talk about it. "
" But I feel happy in Chelsea, it's not that I want People are always complaining that the players are not respecting their contracts, but maybe they are doing it.I do not think that they will keep someone with my qualities on the bench. , even if I do not sign [a new contract] But maybe [staying] is possible because I like it in London. "
The landscape has changed in Chelsea since Courtois, Hazard and their team-mates celebrated their FA Cup success in May, with Antonio Conte and his team relieved of their duties and Sarri installed as head coach. Courtois hinted that the club's board of directors had long informed the players that Conte would leave.
"It's hard to talk about [the appointment of Sarri] because I do not know exactly what happened," he said. "But the decision that was made a few days ago, I think as a group, we expected it to happen longer because we heard what the council told us said already after the season.Then, it takes until now [to happen] .I do not think it's easy for a new manager to train us in a few weeks.
"I think the fans need to understand that we will need time to adapt to the new manager and a different style. I know Dries Mertens [who worked under Sarri at Napoli] and he has spoken very well about Sarri, so I can not wait to come back and win prizes. "
