The father of Eden Hazard admits a move to Real Madrid may now never happen.

Chelsea have received a boost to their hopes of tying down brilliant winger from his dad Thierry.

Real Madrid are long-term admirers and Hazard has flirted with the Spanish giants but he has ultimately remained at Stamford Bridge.

Thierry Hazard said: "I cannot say why it did not go through. Not because I do not want to but because I do not know.

"Next year, Eden will have one year left on his contract but perhaps he never ends up in Madrid."
