“I want him here if he wants to stay” – Maurizio Sarri wants star to pen new deal with Chelsea

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has claimed that the club are ready to agree a contract with Eden Hazard and it is up to him to make a decision about his future.

The BBC reports that the Belgian isn’t sure of signing a new deal and dreams of a move to Real Madrid, but is contracted at the Blues till 2020.

The Italian manager added (h/t BBC) that he wanted the Belgian to stay at the club, only if the player wants:

“I want Eden here, of course.

“But I want him here if he wants to stay here.

“The club is available to sign a new contract immediately, but it’s up to him if he wants to renew or not.”

The manager added that there have been talks going on a weekly basis between the parties too.

“I know very well that there are discussions between the club and the manager of Eden every week, I think.

“So if there is something new, the club will call me immediately.”

Hazard has been our best player this season and claimed he would not leave Chelsea in the winter window (h/t BBC).

The 27-year-old has scored seven goals and has provided five assists for us in the Premier League but hasn’t scored for us in the last four Premier League games.

The Belgian is one of the best players in the world, and it will be extremely tough to replace someone of Hazard’s quality.

Hopefully, Hazard extends his stay at the club as we have seen the likes of Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta pen new deals at Stamford Bridge.
