Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insists there's no plans to lose Eden Hazard this year.

Speculation has been rife across Europe that Hazard will seek to leave Real Madrid either this month or over the summer.

However, Ancelotti has declared they're counting on the Belgium captain long-term.

After their 2-2 draw with Elche, he said: "If we count on Hazard next season? Yes, it's in the planning for the next season."

Hazard has a deal with Real to 2024.
