Eden Hazard (32) leaves through the back door at Real Madrid. Club and player have reached an agreement on the termination of his contract, which had one year left. Hazard may also immediately put an end to his career.
Eden Hazard had been sidelined at Real for two seasons, but was not eager to leave Madrid despite the lack of playing time. His children go to school there and he is happy with his family. The club wanted to sell him to get rid of his expensive contract, but Hazard always indicated that he would rather just sit out his one-year contract.
So until now. Real and the player have reached an agreement on the termination of the contract. Real Madrid announces that. He officially leaves the club on June 30. Hazard may therefore stop playing football at the highest level, but that decision has not yet been made.
Hazard made his dream transfer from Chelsea to Real in the summer of 2019 for 115 million euros, but the move turned out to be a disappointment. Hazard injured his ankle in his first season and then struggled from injury to injury. This season he was finally fit, but Real coach Carlo Ancelotti preferred others.
Earlier this season, Hazard also announced his retirement from the Red Devils after the World Cup in Qatar.
