Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, wants Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois to sign new contracts with the club, before the World Cup kicks off next year in Russia.
Courtois will be into the final year of his deal after this season and is reluctant to sign an extension, while Hazard will have less than two years remaining.
Real Madrid are long-term admirers of both Belgians and Conte has told the board to resolve their situations soon.
“The club knows very well the importance of these two players.
“I think these two players are very happy to play for this club.
“It is normal during the season to have the contact between the player – or the agent of the player – and the club. I hope that at the end, Thibaut will sign his contract.
“If you ask me about these two players, I will be very happy when they can have this deal but this is the responsibility of the club to try to do this.
“I can give my opinion and for me these two players are two great players especially because they have a lot of space for improvement.
“They are very young players and it will be great to keep them with us.”
