Eden Hazard: The Next Move for the Chelsea Hero
Introduction
Eden Hazard had a disappointing spell with Real Madrid after signing for the Spanish giants in 2019 for an initial £88.5m. After four seasons, Hazard has left Los Blancos and is now considering his next move. Reports suggest that the 32-year-old has three realistic choices in front of him, one of which is to return to his home country with the obscure Belgian side RWD Molenbeek.
Hazard’s Options
Hazard’s options are limited after leaving Real Madrid. L’Equipe report that Hazard has three realistic choices in front of him, one of which is to return to his home country with the obscure Molenbeek. Despite his forgettable few years and fitness woes, the man with 126 caps for Belgium would be a huge signing for the club a fraction of the size he has got used to playing for. The L’Equipe report suggests that retirement may actually be his most likely next move, although if an offer from a Major League Soccer side came in, then he could be tempted to make the switch to the States.
Hazard’s Departure from Real Madrid
Hazard actually had another season to run on his contract with Real Madrid but an agreement was reached for him to leave this summer. A statement from the club confirmed: ‘Real Madrid and Eden Hazard have reached an agreement whereby the player will leave the club as of June 30, 2023. Eden Hazard has been part of our club for four seasons, during which time he has won eight titles: one European Cup, one Club World Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, two LaLiga titles, one Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups. Real Madrid would like to express our affection to Eden Hazard and we wish him and his family the best of luck for the next stage of his career.’
Conclusion
Eden Hazard is considering his next move after leaving Real Madrid and reports suggest that he has three realistic choices in front of him. He could return to his home country with the obscure Belgian side RWD Molenbeek, retire or make a switch to Major League Soccer. Whatever he decides, it is sure to be an interesting move for the Chelsea hero.
