Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta says former teammate Eden Hazard had offers to stay in England.
Hazard moved to Real Madrid earlier this month for a fee rising to £150m.
The Spain defender told The Sun: "Honestly, the times that he had to cope with the rumours.
"He always showed his desire not to sign for an English team, even if he could have better contracts.
"He has never been a selfish person.
"He always had this dream to play for Real Madrid and we will see what happens.
"But I think he has been very honest until the last day."
