Eden Hazard has admitted that he would tempted by a move to the Bernabeu should Real Madrid make an offer for him.

The Belgian said that he was happy at Chelsea but would consider a move away if the newly crowned champions of Europe were to try and tempt him away from west London.

Hazard was a key figure in Chelsea's 2016/17 title win, scoring 16 goals in 36 games as Antonio Conte became the third Blues boss to win the league in his first season.

HAZARD ON JOINING MADRID

When asked about the chances of him joining Ronaldo and co at Real Madrid, he said: "Of course, I would consider it if Madrid made an offer. 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 season 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."

Despite the flirtations with the idea of moving to the 12-time European champions, Hazard insists that he is content with life at Chelsea and stresses that for now, his focus is on the Belgian national side.

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