Ancelotti sends strong message to £500,000-a-week star as Chelsea deal now looks on
According to latest reports, Chelsea target Eden Hazard has reportedly been left bemused and angry by Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti overlooking him for selection.
Regarded as one of the best attackers to ever grace the Premier League, Hazard shone so much during his stay with Chelsea that he developed into one of the top five players in world football
However, despite getting his dream move to Real Madrid just a few seasons ago, the Belgian star has failed up to the hype around his name and has been a massive flop over in Spain
That has led to many reports in the media suggesting that he is no longer wanted at the club and he has now been linked back to the Premier League, with both Chelsea and Newcastle reportedly interested.
Now both clubs have been handed another boost in their chase for a possible deal after the striker was left bemused by boss Ancelotti
The latest deterioration in the relationship between the two came on Thursday night when the Belgian did not play a minute of the side’s Copa del Rey defeat against Athletic Bilbao.
Despite Real Madrid mustering just two shots on target throughout the match, Asensio and Rodrygo played the full 90 minutes. It was a clear snub from Ancelotti to the mass of attacking talent on the bench, with Hazard overlooked alongside Gareth Bale and Luka Jovic.
A report in Marca has outlined how Hazard has been left bemused by Ancelotti after he has gone 10 consecutive training matches for Real Madrid at full tilt and without any injury setbacks.
