In lack of playing time at Real Madrid and linked with the Spanish club until 2024, Eden Hazard might be invited to leave as soon as the next summer transfer window.
296… Like the number of minutes played by Eden Hazard this season with Real Madrid. The one who dreamed of being the future winner of the Ballon d’Or when he left Chelsea for Spain is now only a shadow of the player he was. Holder only three times, once in La Liga, twice in Champions League and in the King’s Cup, the Belgian has been waxing the merengue bench for many months.
According to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano, the former Blues and Lille player might well be invited to leave during the next summer transfer window. Under contract with Real Madrid until June 2024, the 32-year-old Belgian will not be retained by his management in the event of a good offer. Given Eden Hazard’s salary at Real, management might even accept “an opportunity” to let him slip away.

Discussions between Real and the Hazard clan
Confined to the bench under the orders of Carlo Ancelotti, Eden Hazard has not played a single minute in La Liga since September 11. Since this unique tenure in the league, the Belgian playmaker has contented himself with an appearance in the cup and two ends of matches on the European scene.
Anxious to recover a small compensation rather than letting him go free, or simply to save his salary, Real Madrid will therefore study the possibility of his player leaving during the summer. Discussions would even be planned in the coming weeks between the Madrid management and the player’s entourage.

His name recently circulated in Saudi Arabia
Arrived from the Premier League in 2019 via a transfer valued at 100 million euros, Eden Hazard has never given the full measure of his talent in Madrid. The fault, in particular, of the multiple injuries that have struck him since his signing at Real.
But even when he is fit to play, like this season, Carlo Ancelotti prefers other players to him and leaves him off the pitch. If the rumors have a time sent to the side of the Premier League to try to revive there, Eden Hazard saw his name associated with Saudi Arabia last January. Eager to recruit big names, the Al-Nassr club would have thought of associating him with a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.
