Hazard has no intention of leaving Stamford Bridge.
Despite reports linking Paris Saint-Germain with a £60 transfer, Eden Hazard has revealed his commitment to Chelsea by discussing a new contract.
The 23-year-old was named PFA Young Player of the Year in 2014 for his performances for the Blues, in a season where Hazard scored 17 goals in all competitions.
Yet a public falling out with manager Jose Mourinho following the club’s elimination from the Champions League to Atletico Madrid sparked speculation surrounding the Belgium international’s future at Stamford Bridge.
This was exacerbated when PSG boss Laurent Blanc admitted that Hazard was a transfer priority for the reigning Ligue 1 champions, but the player has now quashed those claims.
“I am staying at Chelsea 100 per cent sure,” the Belgian told Le Derniere Heure.
“Of course in football you never know but I am under contract with Chelsea and I want to stay there.
“And I am in discussions with Chelsea for a new contract.
“It is only the beginning of the talks right now so we have got time but the fact that Chelsea have offered me a new deal means that they have got a lot of confidence in me that I can do a good job and that they can count on me.
“PSG never made any suggestions to me personally.”
Hazard has recently been awarded his preferred No.10 shirt by the West Londoners – following the sale of Juan Mata to Manchester United in January – and Mourinho has said the attacking midfielder has the potential to be a future Ballon d’Or winner.
