After months of speculations and rumors regarding his future, Eden Hazard has finally opened up regarding the matter that has been of huge concern to many fans of the English club. Actually, the Belgium international is not playing to quit Chelsea anytime soon. The Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester United transfer target, who also doubles up as the Belgium captain in Euro 2016, confirmed that he wants to play under the new boss Antonio Conte.
When asked whether he was planning to stay at the Stamford Bridge next season, he replied:
''Yes, PSG are not part of my plans.
''I have a contract until 2020, I feel good here and I don’t want to finish on a season like that.
“I left Lille as a boss, and I’d like to leave Chelsea as a boss, if I do leave one day. But for the time being I’m here, of course.”

Regarding his poor form for the better part of the just-concluded season, he added:
“Everything was complicated, it was difficult.
“Honestly, for five or six years I’d always been at my best and this was the first season where it was more difficult.
“But everyone knows that in a career there are highs and lows.
“For the time being, touch wood, I’ve only experienced the highs — except for this season, when it wasn’t quite as good.
“But it was meant to happen this season. I hope it doesn’t happen again next season.”
The creative and speedy attacking midfielder has scored 41 goals for the Blues in 137 appearances, and will be one of Conte’s key men in the hunt for major titles next season.
He was widely criticized by a section of the club’s fans following his comments in February this year regarding a possible move to French giants PSG, especially at a time when he had failed to find the back of the net for the West Londoners until April 23. He has now quelled the rumors of his possible move away from the five-time league Champions.
