Eden Hazard: I'll leave if Real Madrid say I have to go

Eden Hazard says he'll leave Real Madrid if they ask him to.

Although the 31-year-old is firmly focused on delivering for Belgium at the World Cup in Qatar, his future with Los Blancos remains a huge talking point.

With just six appearances to his name so far this season, Hazard admits he would be open to a move away from the Spanish giants if he was asked to leave.

He said, "When I don't play it's difficult, but if I play, of course. Soccer is my life and I just want to play.

"It's hard because I don't play much, but there are good people and that's what I want, to train and play with them. If I can help, all the better, but at the moment I can't. I will try to give it my all."

Asked if he could leave in January, Hazard stated: "In January it is impossible, because I have family and I like the city. But in summer it is possible that I could leave. I have one more year on my contract and it is the club's decision.

"If the club tells me 'Eden, thanks for the four years, but you have to go', I have to accept it because it is normal. But I would like to play more, to show that I can play, that I am a good player."
