Eden Hazard Makes Huge Announcement After UEFA Europa League Final Amid Real Madrid Rumours

The Belgian scored two goals and assisted another as Chelsea thumped Arsenal 4-1 in the Europa League final after running riot in the second half.

Hazard, who has just one year left on his Chelsea contract, has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months, with reports suggesting he would join Los Blancos soon after the Europa League final.

On Wednesday night, he was being interviewed pitch-side when he confirmed he wants to leave Stamford Bridge, but did not reveal his new club, saying both sides still need to agree full terms.

"I think it's a goodbye, but in football you never know," he told BT Sport.

"I think it will be decided in a few days. I made my decision already. I said it two weeks ago.

"Now it depends on the clubs, both clubs. I am just waiting. You will see, you will know in a couple of days.

"My dream was to play in the Premier League. I played here for seven years for one of the biggest clubs in the world, and maybe it's time for a new challenge."
