\nChelsea manager Maurizio Sarri believes Eden Hazard could leave the club to fulfil his potential with the Belgian attracting interest from Real Madrid. Hazard\u2019s contract with the Premier League club expires in 2020 and he has so far refused to extend that deal despite Chelsea\u2019s efforts. The Blues have stood firm in rejecting bids for Callum Hudson-Odoi from German giants Bayern Munich for the 18-year-old.<\/p>\n
Hudson-Odoi is also out of contract in 2020, but Sarri intimated the club\u2019s stance may be different and they may cash in on Hazard in the summer should he express his desire to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe situation of Eden is different. Eden is 28. If he wants to go, I think he has to go,\u201d said Sarri ahead of Wednesday\u2019s trip to Bournemouth. \u201cSometimes he\u2019s happy with something less. It\u2019s my job to improve him and put him in a position to do his best.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarri branded Hazard \u201cmore an individual player than a leader\u201d last week and has routinely called for his star forward to hit the heights he showed early in the season on a more consistent basis.<\/p>\n
However, Hazard\u2019s form has also suffered due to Sarri\u2019s decision to play him in an unfamiliar centre-forward role in recent months prior to the loan signing of Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
