Eden Hazard has revealed he could leave Chelsea as early as this summer and insisted it will be up to him when he decides to change clubs, and not anyone else.

The Belgian insisted he is happy at Stamford Bridge but Real Madrid are known to be interested in him and are hoping to sign a star name having not done so for three seasons, while Paris Sanit-Germain are also looking to add to their collection of star-name forwards.

Chelsea are enduring a tough defence to their Premier League title this season so far and face the daunting task of knocking out Barcelona if they are to progress any further in the Champions League.

Hazard is yet to sign a contract extension at Chelsea and he has now admitted he could leave the club in the future.

“I still have two years left on my contract,” the 27-year-old told Telefoot. “I feel very good over here. The fans love me, my family enjoys life over here. We will see.

“In football anything can happen. But in football nothing can happen too. Every year they talk about Real or PSG. And when I want to change clubs, I will. But at the moment I'm good where I am.
