Hazard, the reigning Premier League player of the seasons, has struggled for form all season - but that has not stopped him from being linked with a big-money move to the likes of Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the campaign
PSG pursued the Belgium international before he chose to join the Blues from Lille in 2012, and have continued to maintain an interest ever since. And in an interview with Le Parisien Hazard seemed to acknowledge that such a move was a possibility, with the French champions now one of the biggest sides in Europe.
"It's hard to say no to PSG, as with all teams capable of winning the Champions League," Hazard told Le Parisien.
"Now, PSG are part of this category. And for me, winning the Champions League is the main objective.
"But for now, I do not dwell on it."
Chelsea face PSG in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
When pushed on his future, the 25-year-old sounded open to all eventualities.
"I do not know, because there is always uncertainty in football," he added. "If we stick to the contract, I'll still be at Chelsea next season.
"Even if things are complicated this season, I am at Chelsea. I'm in a good group that can win trophies every season."
Hazard also expressed an interest in working with Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane, adding that the Frenchman was "my idol when he was a player".
Hazard has scored just one goal all season for Chelsea, who remain in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
