Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has told fans that he would never abandon their club in the January transfer window amid speculation that Real Madrid could make a move for the Belgian.
After two Premier League title-winning campaigns with the Blues, the 27-year-old has spoken about his desire to play elsewhere but has always left the door open when it comes to signing a new contract to stay at Stamford Bridge.
In a French TV appearance with Canal+, the former Lille winger opened up about his future after he was asked about whether he would agree to a deal to remain at Chelsea.
"I have one year left in June," he said. "If I don't extend, [a move] is possible.
"I can't see myself leaving in January. I wouldn't do that to the club, the fans.
"Next summer it's a possibility, but it's also possible that I spend the rest of my career at Chelsea."
It's not the first time that Hazard has been so honest in how he presents these two possibilities, or dismissed the idea of burning bridges to force his way out of the club.
"I don't want that," said Hazard in October when asked about his compatriot Thibaut Courtois who demanded a transfer to Real Madrid in the summer.
"I want what's good for me but I want what's good for the club because the club has given me everything," he said. "I don't want to say: 'Yes, I am signing a new contract,' and then in the end I don't end up signing. So I will see.
