Eden Hazard's younger brother believes he will stay at Real Madrid until he's the "best player" at the club, but admitted there is one circumstance that would see him leave this summer.
Kylian Hazard, now on loan at RWD Molenbeek from Cercle Brugge, spent time at Chelsea as a youth team player, but never made a step up to the first-team to join his brother Eden before he left the club.

While Kylian returned to Belgium after leaving Chelsea, Eden Hazard chose Spain and Real Madrid, but he has been hit with injury problems and competition for places at the Santiago Bernabeu since joining the club, which has limited his time on the pitch.
Despite arriving for a club-record fee, Hazard has not yet surpassed 20 league starts in a single campaign for Los Blancos, and has netted just six goals for the club.
The emergence of Vinicius Junior this season has further impacted Hazard's time at Real Madrid as the Brazilian typically operates off the left wing, where Hazard also plays.
However, his brother Kylian believes he won't quit until he's left his mark on the club. With a contract until 2024 at Madrid, Kylian told RTL Sport he thinks his brother will be diligent and patient in order to prove himself to the Madrid fans.
What has Hazard said?
"He's not going to let go of Real until he proves he's the strongest there," Kylian said. "He's proven himself at every club he's been to, and for me, he doesn't want to leave.
"I don't think he's going to leave," he continued. "I can assure you one thing: he will do everything possible to prove that he is the best player at Real."
However, Kylian admitted the one circumstance that would lead to Hazard's Real Madrid exit this summer.
"If the president wants him to leave, if he knows he has no chance of playing, then I don't think he'll stay," he revealed.
Hazard's only goal so far this season came in the Copa del Rey, while Vinicius Jr, who is currently occupying Hazard's potential spot on the left, has already surpassed the 30 goal and assist mark for the campaign.
