Eden Hazard says he will not force Chelsea to sell him and will only leave the club on "good terms".

The 27-year-old, whose contract has two years left to run, recently spoke of his daily quandary over staying loyal to the Blues or fulfilling his dream of joining Real Madrid.

Chelsea intend to convince Hazard the stay at the club and sign a new long-term contract, Sky Sports News reported last week, and Hazard has insisted he will never clash with his club.
