Eden Hazard: Previous years at Real Madrid ‘haven’t gone well’

134 million market value loss

Eden Hazard hasn’t finished at Real Madrid yet. The 31-year-old offensive player, signed by Chelsea in the summer of 2019 for 115 million euros, finally wants to meet the expectations placed on him and bring his chapter with the “Royal” to a good end. In the upcoming Champions League final against Liverpool and in the next few years until his contract expires in 2024, the Belgian wants to build on better days.

“My first three seasons here didn’t go well, so I want to show everyone what I can do,” Hazard said in an interview with journalist Kristof Terreur from the daily “Het Laatste Nieuws”. “Starting this Saturday. It’s always been a dream to play for Real. It still is.” The veteran, who has often been injured in the past, will obviously have the opportunity to use his potential, as coach Carlo Ancelotti recently clarified.
