New Hazard deal important for Chelsea — Fabregas

By Daily Sports on September 28, 2018

Cesc Fabregas has said that he believes Chelsea could struggle to keep Eden Hazard next summer unless they agree a contract extension.

Sources have told ESPN FC that Chelsea are prepared to make Hazard the highest-paid player in the club's history if he agrees to sign a new long-term contract, having been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid last summer.

"It was an easy decision [not to sell], especially now, because at this stage how much can Eden cost? Not many teams in the world can buy Eden Hazard," Fabregas told the Evening Standard. "He still had two years left on his contract.

"Next year if he has one year left, that's a different story. You don't have as much power as a club. Eden is one of the best players in the world.

"But having two years left, especially how the market is, it's basically impossible to sign him up. I don't think it was that hard from the club [to keep him]."

Hazard provided a spectacular reminder of his quality in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup third round. He beat five defenders over the course of a dazzling move before smashing an unstoppable shot beyond Simon Mignolet to eliminate Jurgen Klopp's men at Anfield for his seventh goal in eight appearances.

The Belgian had suggested in July that "it might be time to discover something different" after six years at Stamford Bridge, making it clear that Madrid was his "preferred destination". Chelsea, however, never wavered in their stance that the Belgian was not for sale at any price and the Spanish giants never made a formal approach to sign him.
