Eden Hazard 'rules out ever playing for Paris Saint-Germain'

Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has said that he will never consider making a move to Paris Saint-Germain during his playing career.

The 28-year-old has been a target of the French side's Qatari owners for several years, with the club making moves for him in 2012 when he switched from Lille to Chelsea and in 2019 before he left Chelsea for the Spanish capital.

The Belgian has indicated that he has no interest in the idea, telling L'Equipe: "I will never play for PSG, they have wanted me many times.

"I don't have any intention to return to a Ligue 1 club other than Lille. I have always said no to them.

"In my head everything is clear. It is a team that would give you a chance of winning the Champions League, but they are not among my priorities.

"If I return to Ligue 1, it will be Lille."

Hazard, who scored twice for Belgium during the recent international break, is currently working his way back to full fitness after flattering to deceive in his first few months with Zinedine Zidane's side.
