Conte says it will be difficult to keep Hazard from Real Madrid

The future of Eden Hazard is still a mystery, nobody can tell for sure if he will remain at Chelsea or follow his ambition of playing for Real Madrid. That said, Real Madrid are said to be interested in taking him to Spain this summer against Chelsea's wish and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte thinks keeping him will be difficult if Real Madrid come forward and the player wants to leave.

"I think that it's impossible for me to take this responsibility," Conte said, as quoted on The Times. "I don't think it's possible, no [keeping Hazard if Madrid make an offer]. But not only for Eden, but for every single player."

"I think, in this situation, the club has the final decision and I can tell you my opinion about the situation but I repeat the club has the final word."

Meanwhile, Conte thinks that Hazard is very much happy to play for Chelsea.

"I think Eden is very happy to stay with us and work with us," Conte added. "I think his family is very happy to stay here and to play for this team, for this club — the fans love him and there are a lot of positive things that bring him to stay here and to try to reach the best with this club, because don't forget the target of this club is to try to win in every competition that you have to play."

"But you know that in football there is also the will of the player."
