Marcel Desailly: 'Eden Hazard unlikely to join Real Madrid'

Chelsea legend Marcel Desailly does not think that Eden Hazard will "take the risk" and join Real Madrid in the summer.

Chelsea legend Marcel Desailly has said that he does not expect Eden Hazard to leave Stamford Bridge for Real Madrid.

The La Liga giants have been linked with a big-money move for the Belgian winger, but Desailly has revealed that he has his doubts over whether the player is ready for a high-profile switch to the Bernabeu.

The 48-year-old told talkSPORT: "It depends on his ambition. I'm not sure Eden Hazard has that intention of being that top player, being first choice at Real Madrid.

"Remember, Hazard has been in the Chelsea system for five years, and he's been doing well, but he's not been doing what we expected of him – scoring goals and being the equivalent of Ronaldo or Messi, he's on and off.

"I'm not sure he's fully ready to change and take the risk, because he will want to play regular football."

Hazard has scored 69 goals in 240 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Lille in 2012.
