Eden Hazard was speaking at a media conference before Belgium's game against SwizerlandEden Hazard says he will not move to Real Madrid in January, but agrees he might need to leave Chelsea to win the Ballon d'Or. The 27-year-old attacker said earlier this month that joining Real had been his "dream since I was a kid". Asked if he needed to play in Spain to win the game's top individual awards, Hazard smilingly replied "that's why I want to go, maybe". Real signed Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea in August for a reported £35m as the goalkeeper's contract entered its final year. The forward has been at Chelsea since signing from Lille in 2012, scoring 76 goals in 216 league appearances.
