But Maurizio Sarri's likely departure to Juventus, coupled with Hazard's exit, appears to have softened the England starlet's determination to leave.
Sarri has been criticised for not playing some of Chelsea's extremely promising young stars, but the likes of Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were given more game time as the season progressed.
If Derby manager Frank Lampard does take over from Sarri then the Chelsea legend would be given free reign to use their embarrassment of riches in the youth ranks.
