Eden Hazard has finally revealed his plan for next season and admitted to having issues with Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid.

The 32-year-old has made just seven appearances in all competitions in this campaign so far, despite being Los Blancos' highest-paid player.
Hazard has for the most part been overlooked by Italian head coach Ancelotti, but that has not impacted the former Chelsea winger's plan to remain at the 14-time UEFA Champions League winners beyond the current season.
"I would like to stay. I've always said that. I hope to play and to show that I can still do it," he said in a recent interview, according to AS.
"People have doubts, that's normal, I understand. But for me, I'm still here next year. You never know, but a transfer is not in my plan."
The ex-Premier League star then touched on his relationship with the team's manager, but admits there has been little contact between him and Ancelotti.
"There's respect between Ancelotti and I. But, I'm not going to say we talk to each other, because we don't. But there will always be respect," he added.
"I have to have respect a guy like Ancelotti. For what he represents for football, and for what he's done in his career."
Hazard joined Real in 2019 for a club-record transfer fee and has since made just 73 appearances for the club across all competitions.
