The 32-year-old joined Real Madrid from Chelsea in a €100million deal back in 2019 but has not played a single minute of La Liga or UEFA Champions League (UCL) action since his return from the World Cup.
Speaking about his future at Real Madrid and his relationship with Ancelotti, Hazard said he is not planning to leave the La Liga champions.
He also opened up on the situation with his coach, admitting they are not on talking terms.
“I would like to stay. I have always said that. I hope to play and to show that I can still do it,” Hazard said, as per reports from Diario AS.
“People have doubts, that is normal, I understand. But for me, I am still here next year. You never know, but a transfer is not in my plan.
“There is respect between Ancelotti and I. But I am not going to say we talk to each other, because we don’t. But there will always be respect.
“I have to have respect for a guy like Ancelotti. For what he represents in football and for what he’s done in his career.”
Real Madrid are currently 9 points adrift of league leaders, Barcelona, who they play on Sunday, March 19.
