Eden Hazard's father has revealed the Chelsea star has turned down a new deal at the club because he is holding out for a transfer to Real Madrid.

The Belgian ace, who is in a hot streak of form at the moment, has previously admitted his interest in moving to La Liga giants.

Last month Hazard told French television channel Canal +: "Everyone knows the admiration I have for Real, but for now I'm a Blues."

However, the 26-year-old attacker's father has now added further fuel to the fire by claiming his son has turned a contract extension which would keep him at Stamford Bridge past 2020.

Father Thierry told Belgian paper Le Soir: " What I can say about Eden is that he refused an extension of contract to be able, if necessary, to follow the interest of the Real, where he would see himself well.

"But, as I speak to you, there is no contact. Eden is only one of the parties to the contract ."
