Eden Hazard has revealed he would consider an offer from Real Madrid but reiterated he remains happy at Chelsea.

The Belgian enjoyed a fine season scoring 16 goals as the Blues swept all before them to win the Premier League title.

Hazard's standout performances have seen him linked with a move to the Spanish capital with manager Zinedine Zidane a known admirer.

And the 26-year-old admits he would listen to Real's interest should it indeed materialise this summer.

"Of course, I would consider it if Madrid made an offer," he said. "I am keen to win trophies. It would be great to win the Champions League. But Chelsea's goal is to win the Champions League as well. Honestly, I do not know what will happen.

"I only know that I still have a contract with Chelsea for three seasons and that we just had an amazing 2016-17 campaign. We want to continue on this path and want to build on this in the Champions League.

"I am feeling very well at Chelsea. But you never know what will happen.

"I have not met with the board yet to discuss a new deal. I have two games with Belgium coming up first and I am off on my holiday after that. I want to think about football as little as possible."
