Real Madrid have reached an amicable agreement with Eden Hazard on a breach of contract. The Belgian player will leave the Merengues a year before the end of his contract. Hazard will be able to embark on a new adventure at 32, if he wants to of course.
The end of a failed marriage that will have lasted four years all the same. When Eden Hazard signed for Real Madrid in June 2019 for 115 million euros, he was expected to become the boss of the Madrid club and take the place vacated by Cristiano Ronaldo. Florentino Perez could harbor hopes given the level shown by the Belgian in selection and at Chelsea. Nevertheless, expectations were quickly dashed in Madrid. Hazard quickly struggled with injuries, spells of poor form and long stays on the sidelines. 4 years later, he disappeared from the radar at Real Madrid, playing only very rarely.
Real Madrid, too many failures for Hazard?
Eden Hazard no longer has too many hopes under the management of Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian does not trust him and the departure of the Belgian was inevitable. It becomes a reality since this Saturday since Real Madrid communicated on an agreement reached with its Belgian player for a breach of contract on June 30. This comes a year before the end of his contract, allowing him to be able to find a club more easily, especially financially.

However, according to The Athletic, another plan is germinating in the mind of the former Lille player. Eden Hazard plans to end his career very soon. He leaves time for reflection but the announcement could take place in the coming days. At 32, it would look like a big mess but Hazard seems less motivated by the pitches for a few months. Recently, he announced his international retirement with the Red Devils. The Belgian selection will pay tribute to him for the occasion during the reception of Austria, on June 17th.
