False reports had emerged claiming Los Blancos have instead agreed for Chelsea star Hazard, 27, to join in the summer.

Hazard called Zidane his "idol" in November and insists his "dream" is to play for the Frenchman.

The Belgium playmaker claims he is happy at Stamford Bridge but has snubbed a new deal at the Blues.

His Chelsea contract does not expire until the summer of 2020.

Eden Hazard scores controversial penalty kick against Arsenal after going down softly in the box

Manager Antonio Conte urged his star player - and fellow contract rebel Thibaut Courtois - to sign a new deal after scoring a double against Newcastle in last month's 3-1 Premier League win.

It is understood Hazard has not agreed to join them yet, but his reps have been in contact with the Spanish giants.

Conte said: "If you ask me about these two players, I will be very happy when they can have this deal but this is the responsibility of the club to try to do this.

"I can give my opinion and for me these two players are two great players especially because they have a lot of space for improvement.

"They are very young players and it will be great to keep them with us."

Real Madrid are fourth in La Liga and Zidane has come under pressure to boost the squad.

But he said: "I don't need anyone. That's it. So that I can be clear: I don't want anyone. Period. We began with a squad and I believe in my players.

"There are tough moments in a season. You want to transmit that it's unlike it's ever been before. That's not what I think. What I think is that we have everything to move forward. Everything.

"We'll see what happens at the end of the season. That's when things are analysed, and if you should make changes, you make changes."
