Belgian winger Eden Hazard appears to have turned down a move to relegation-threatened Newcastle United despite the Magpies over £40m bid being accepted by Real Madrid for the player.

According to the Daily Mail, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez has accepted an offer of £33.4m plus £8.3m in add-ons, from Newcastle with Eddie Howe desperate to strengthen his beleaguered squad in a bid to escape relegation this season.

However, it is now confirmed that despite the Galaticos accepting the bid from the Magpies, Eden Hazard has rejected the proposed move insisting he will only leave the Bernabau for a bigger club playing in the Champions League as reported via Spanish news outlet Marca.

Real Madrid President is believed to be ready to offload the Belgian in the January transfer window as the Galaticos try to create space in their squad for the signing of PSG’s Kylian Mbappe in the summer.
