Roberto Martinez has urged Belgium superstar Eden Hazard to quit Chelsea for Real Madrid. Hazard has admitted that he is ready to snub a £300,000-a-week new deal and leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
Martinez said: “Players need new challenges and new projects. Perhaps it’s a good time for [Chelsea] and for Eden [to split]. I would be very surprised if Chelsea didn’t have big offers for him right now.”
“It could be the best time [for Hazard] to try something different.
“He is a player who has maturity and a lot of leadership. His play is based on talent.
“Hazard could carry a new project anywhere in the world. He is at the best moment of his career. He could fit in any team in the world,” Martinez added.
The Chelsea star himself wants to decide on his future after six wonderful years at Chelsea as it could be right time for him to replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
