'Hazard not ready for Madrid but Costa could go' - Desailly discusses transfer plans at Chelsea

The former Blues defender feels the Belgian forward should stay put, but acknowledges that a striker exit may be on the cards if big money is offered.

Eden Hazard has been urged to reject interest from Real Madrid and stay at Chelsea, but Marcel Desailly feels Diego Costa could move on.

Belgium international Hazard continues to generate intense speculation regarding his future, with a big-money transfer to Santiago Bernabeu having been mooted for some time.

Desailly can understand the appeal to both parties, but feels a key figure for the Blues should embrace his role at Stamford Bridge and avoid becoming another high-profile squad member in Spain.
