Chelsea hero Frank Leboeuf says Eden Hazard should be allowed to join Real Madrid.
Belgian Hazard, 28, has 12 months left on his contract at Stamford Bridge but is desperate to switch to the Bernabeu this summer.
Leboeuf told The Sun: “Eden has one year, so he has to go. The club have to think financially.
“They managed to keep him last year when it was almost sure he would go to Real Madrid, and he had a very good year.
“If you try to keep him, he won't be as good as he was — because he will be unhappy to stay.
“We have to wish him luck, thank him and find another fantastic player to replace him."
