Carlo Ancelotti delivers a definite reply when asked if he plans to keep Eden Hazard

“Hazard is a top player, he has had injury problems, and not shown his top potential yet here,” Carlo Ancelotti told reporters as quoted by Dermot Corrigan from The Athletic.

“I believe he can do that next year, he wants to, is motivated.”

Hazard is contracted to Real Madrid until 2024.

The Belgian has been struggling with injuries since joining the club in 2019 and hasn't lived up to expectations.

The recent rumours have linked the forward with a summer exit.

However, the player himself insists that he does not plan to leave the club in the summer.
