Belgium clinched their best ever finish at a World Cup as their "golden generation" won the bronze medal at Russia 2018.
Hazard dropped a huge hint that he might leave the club the club after saying it "might be time to discover something different" following Belgium's win against England in the World Cup third-place playoff.
The 27-year-old, who scored the second goal in the Red Devil's 2-0 victory in Saint Petersburg, has been linked with a move to Real Madrid following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus.
"After six wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different," he told reporters after Belgium achieved their best World Cup finish.
