Mateo Kovacic has revealed that Eden Hazard, has asked him how things are at Real Madrid, amid speculation over his future with Chelsea.
Hazard, 27, has been strongly linked with a move to Madrid in the summer, with his contract at Chelsea set to expire in 2020.
Although the Premier League outfit are desperate to keep him beyond then and are prepared to make him their highest paid player in history, the Belgian is said to be keeping his options open.
Kovacic, who is on loan at Stamford Bridge from Real, insisted that Hazard is fully focused on Chelsea and admitted he was surprised by how good his teammate is.
“For me, he is an incredible player. I did not know he was that good and he can easily be one of the two or three best players in the world.
“He asked me how it was there (at Real) but we are looking forward to having a great season together, to be fully concentrated on Chelsea.
“He is focused a lot on doing great things with Chelsea,” Kovacic said according to UK Metro.
