Chelsea ace Eden Hazard tells his dad to stop embarrassing him by claiming that he wants to join Real Madrid
The 27-year-old's father Thierry said last month his son will refuse a new Blues deal because he wants to join the Spanish giants
EDEN HAZARD has told his dad to stop embarrassing him by claiming he wants to join Real Madrid.
The Chelsea midfield star’s father Thierry said last month his son will refuse a new Blues deal because he wants to join the Spanish giants.
Hazard, 26, has more than two years left on his £200,000-a-week deal and followed up his old man’s outburst by suggesting he will sign up soon - once keeper Thibaut Courtois does.
And Belgian Hazard revealed he has since told his father to stop putting his foot in it.
He said: “My dad says some bad things. I talked with him, no worries. I’m focused on Chelsea.
“I’ve got two years contract left and I’m happy here, like I said ten times before.
“I want to finish this year and then we’ll see.”
Hazard does admit he would love to play for Real Madrid — in fact, his hero is boss Zinedine Zidane.
