FBNews: Marcos Alonso comments on his and Hazard’s Real Madrid links

Marcos Alonso says Eden Hazard is settled at Chelsea and showed no summer signs of wanting to join Real Madrid.

Alonso, who himself has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, believes Hazard is currently “very happy” in London after a summer of speculation linking him with Real.

The Belgium playmaker spent all summer telling Blues fans that his time in the capital maybe up.

He told Belgian newspaper HLN: “After six wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different. Certainly after this World Cup.

“I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision – if they want to let me go. You know my preferred destination.”

But Alonso says the 27-year-old is happy, despite Real never putting in a serious approach to sign Hazard.

“I did not see Hazard in Madrid (this summer),” Alonso told AS.

“He’s very happy at Chelsea. I do not know if there was interest or not but Hazard and his family are very well there (at Chelsea).”
