Hazard was widely asked to relocate to Bernabeu last summer.

But Zidane eventually gave up after his third consecutive Champions League title.

And Hazard ends up staying at Stamford Bridge after the arrival of Maurizio Sarri.

Yet, despite the season of barn storms, Hazard continues to be badociated with Real.

And we think Los Blancos will finally play their part at the end of the season when Hazard enters the final year of his contract.

However, his admiration for Zidane was such that Hazard could try to join him at the next French club.

But the Belgian is adamant that his future will not be determined by the next decision of Zizou, explaining that, for example, he would not go to Man Utd if his idol had the impression to take the lead at Old Trafford this summer.

Hazard told France Football: "No, I have never had any information (news from Zidane).

"Sure he's going to Manchester (United) tomorrow, for example, I'm not going to go there."

Hazard also claimed that he could still sign a new contract with Chelsea, adding, "I've won everything in England, with the exception of Community Shield, but that does not mean I'm leaving.

"I've always said that I wanted to explore something different after England. But there are also things that could make me stay.

"After the World Cup, I wanted to leave, but I finally stayed in Chelsea and I play one of the best seasons so far.

"So I do not think I need another challenge. But that does not mean that I will become better. "
