Rumours have constantly linked Hazard with a move to Real Madrid. The Spanish giants have been eager to sign the Belgian for some time now and Hazard has done little to play down speculation.
However, on the back of a successful season, he seems happier than ever in a Chelsea shirt. Fans will be hoping that he will stick to his word and remain in West London for another year.
Antonio Conte, meanwhile, has been the subject of a shocking report claiming that he could be leaving. Apparently, a lack of action in the transfer market has caused a row between Conte and Roman Abramovich. Chelsea, though, are confident that he will stay.
"Conte was widely reported to be frustrated with the Chelsea hierarchy over a lack of investment in the transfer market…Sky Sports News HQ understands Chelsea are confident Conte, who is currently on holiday, remains committed to the Blues and will return for pre-season in the first week of July as planned. – Sky Sports"
The latter report is the more interesting of the two as it comes from Sky. They tend to be relatively reliable (compared to other outlets) with their stories.
Could a lack of investment cause Conte to quit? Or is this all just mid-June journalism? Sound off below!
