The 27-year-old star, who has been at Stamford Bridge since 2012, has been linked with a surprise move to Real Madrid over the past two seasons.
The Belgian has flirted with the idea of joining Los Blancos, often heaping praise on head coach Zinedine Zidane, but has now finally confirmed he will sign a contract extension at Chelsea.
Hazard also said his new contract would come after goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, another reported target for La Liga giants, signs his contract extension with the Blues.
Asked whether he would sign a new deal at Chelsea, the Belgian No.10 told the Daily Mirror: ‘Yes. I think Thibaut first. Then I will sign.’
The former Lille star, who has won two Premier League titles, has two years remaining on his current deal and Stamford Bridge, are believed to be willing to make him the highest paid player in Premier League.
After missing the start of the 2017-18 season after undergoing surgery this summer, the Belgium international has scored nine goals and made eight assists as Chelsea have moved to third in the EPL table.
