Eden Hazard remains fully committed to Chelsea and has no plans to look for a transfer to Real Madrid in the summer.

Hazard has been on Real Madrid's wish-list for several years and the Spanish giants hoped the presence of his idol Zinedine Zidane as coach would improve their chances.

The Belgium international, who still has over three years left on his contract, has returned to his best from this term and played a major part in Chelsea's surge to the top of the table.

Real Madrid are determined to spend big once again, especially after being banned by Fifa from signing any players in January, and were looking at Hazard as a possible 'marquee' acquisition.

Hazard admitted earlier in the season that he will only consider a transfer from Stamford Bridge should they win the title again.

He said: "If I ever leave, it’ll be after winning a championship. You need to go out on a high so that people remember you for the right reasons."

Chelsea are currently 10 points clear of Tottenham and Manchester City and need a maximum of just 24 points from their last 11 League games.

But even if Hazard claims his second Premier League winners' medal in three seasons, the 26-year-old has no intention of leaving Chelsea.

The attacking midfielder, who joined from Lille for £32m in 2012, is settled with his family in London.

He is also thriving under new coach Antonio Conte, having been moved from a position out wide on the left in a 4-2-3-1 formation to a role in a 3-4-3 where he is allowed to roam more in the middle of the pitch.

Hazard has scored 11 League goals so far, which is just three short of his best tally that he set in 2013-14 and 2014-15.

Chelsea also have no interest in selling one of their prize assets, with Conte insisting last month that Hazard 'had no price'.
