Chelsea boss Conte has sent a stern message to Barcelona officials they will have no chance of signing Eden Hazard
The 26-year-old has been reported to be a target of the Spanish giants for a while now.
Conte, speaking in Singapore where Chelsea are preparing to face Inter Milan tomorrow, was asked about the Barca interest.
The Italian said: “I don’t know anything about this situation. In the past I read a lot of stories about Real Madrid and now there is Barcelona.
“This is the transfer market and we must understand this.
“Will Hazard stay with us? Yes. He is very happy to stay with us and to play for Chelsea.”
Hazard has long since linked with a move to Real Madrid as another option, according to reports in Spain.
Hazard, who has three more years on his current contract at Stamford Bridge, has not been part of Chelsea’s pre-season tour to China and Singapore.
