Maurizio Sarri has hinted that Eden Hazard’s motivation to play for Chelsea may well have gone despite the Blues’ impending Europa League final appearance.
Hazard continues to close in on a move to Real Madrid this summer, though Chelsea are holding out for a £100million transfer fee.
Sarri admitted he remains unsure if a top-four finish and a potential Europa League title would be enough to convince Hazard to stay Chelsea however.
Asked if Chelsea’s season could keep the Belgium playmaker at Stamford Bridge beyond the summer, Sarri said: “I don’t know, I don’t know. If Hazard is thinking that the history here is finished, then in his mind it is finished.
“I can try to speak to him but it is not easy. It’s not easy because of course I want Hazard, but I want Hazard with a very high level of motivation.
“I can only speak to the player but like a father, not like a manager.”
Hazard fired the winning spot-kick as Chelsea edged out Eintracht Frankfurt 4-3 on penalties to book an all-English Europa League final against Arsenal.
When asked about his future afterwards he insisted he’s not thinking about it at the moment.
“I don’t think [about] that. I’m only thinking about trying to win something for this club,” Hazard told BT Sport.
“If it’s my last game [the final] I will try to do everything. In my mind I don’t know yet, so I will just try to win games for Chelsea.”
