Chelsea's Eden Hazard won't rule out potential Real Madrid or PSG move

Eden Hazard has not ruled out the possibility of joining Real Madrid or Paris-Saint Germain in the future but said he is happy at Chelsea for now.

Hazard, 25, won the PFA Player of the Year award as he scored 14 goals for title-winning Chelsea last season but has struggled for form and fitness this season.

But in recent weeks, Hazard -- who has returned from a groin injury -- has shown signs of rediscovering his best form under interim manager Guus Hiddink.

The Belgium international has been linked with a summer move to long-time suitors Paris Saint-Germain -- who Chelsea face in the Champions League -- or Real Madrid.

Asked by Le Parisien whether he could leave Stamford Bridge, he said: "Everything is possible, it's true. But I have a contract that runs for four-and-a-half years yet.

"Even if things are difficult this year, I feel good at Chelsea. I'm in a good squad that can win trophies every season."

Asked whether Hiddink had said he could leave in the summer, he added: "I don't think that will happen. Anyway, every transfer window people say: 'Eden is going to leave.'

"And every time that I said that I would stay, I have actually stayed. On the other hand, I said during my last year at Lille that I was going to leave and I really did leave."

Addressing rumours of a move to the Bernabeu, he said: "Of course, [Madrid coach] Zinedine Zidane gets you interested. He was my idol when he was a player... and he's been saying good things about me for a long time.

"In any case, I want to work with the best managers in the world. Beyond that, I don't know if Zidane is in that category yet. He's only been training Real since the start of January."

Hazard has previously played down talk of a potential switch to PSG but revealed: "It's difficult to say no to PSG, like all the teams who are capable of winning the Champions League.

"PSG are part of that category now. And for me, to win the Champions League is the main aim. But for the moment I'm not dwelling on that."
