Burnley midfielder Steven Defour sees Belgium teammate Eden Hazard leaving Chelsea for Real Madrid.
Defour is set to line up against Hazard on Sunday for the first time since the forward indicated that it was his 'dream' to move to Real Madrid from Chelsea.
He said: "The Premier League is still the best competition in the world. But if you are talking club-wise, Real Madrid and Barcelona are above the Premier League.
"As a player you want to play at the highest level. The highest level is the Premier League, but the highest clubs at this moment are Barcelona and Real Madrid.
"It is still a personal choice. If you are an English player playing for a top club in England, that might be good for you.
"Since Eden was a little boy, he has dreamed about playing for Real Madrid and at some point when you get the opportunity you might take it."
