Eden Hazar is reportedly keen to return to Chelsea this summer (Getty)Chelsea have decided to not prioritise a move for Eden Hazard this summer, according to reports.
\nEarlier this week, reports in Spain claimed that the Belgium international is looking to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season and his preference is to return to Chelsea.
\nHazard left Stamford Bridge in a \u00a3130 million deal in 2019 but has struggled with injuries during his time in the Spanish capital.
\nThe 30-year-old was able to start only seven games in La Liga this season, while Madrid ended the campaign without a trophy for the first time since 2010.
\nAccording to the Sunday World, Chelsea have been made aware of Hazard\u2019s desire to move back to Stamford Bridge.
\nBut it\u2019s claimed that Hazard\u2019s return is not considered a priority by Chelsea\u2019s hierarchy and the club are exploring the possibility of signing a world-class striker instead.<\/p>\n

\nThomas Tuchel\u2019s side are now understood to have made Romelu Lukaku one of their top choices ahead of the upcoming window and are monitoring his situation at Inter.
\nLukaku helped guide Inter to their first Serie A title since 2010 this term but the news of Antonio Conte\u2019s departure on Wednesday will come as a major blow as Italian played a key role in convincing him to move to Italy.
\nInter are also looking to reduce their wage bill by 20 per cent and raise \u20ac100 million (\u00a386.5m) in player sales by the end of the transfer window.
