Former Chelsea star Eden Hazard says a move back to Premier League this summer is "out of the question".
The Belgian attacker has missed almost 60 games through injury since moving to Real Madrid for 100-million Euro in the summer of 2019.
Speculation had increased about Hazard's future in the Spanish capital since Zinedine Zidane's departure as manager but the 30-year-old insists he wants to be a success in LaLiga.
“I still have a three-year contract with Real Madrid, so going back to England is out of the question.
"Everyone knows that my first two years were not good. First I want to prove myself at Real Madrid. I will do everything to do that.
“I certainly don’t see myself leaving Madrid, given the contract situation.
“For myself, I know myself and I know when I’m in shape. If that’s the case, I can give it my all for Real next season. That’s my plan.”
Virginie Lefour/Belga via ZUMA PressHazard added that he's confident of being sharp for Belgium at the upcoming European Championships.
"I was always strong when I could play many matches in a row. Now that was not possible. I am close to my good level. I just have to do match rhythm now. I do everything I can to not get injured.
"I try to keep the best out of myself. I have been injured at Chelsea and have come back to a good level. I just need match rhythm. I don't have many minutes in the legs, I have to deal with that."
