FootballReal Madrid Star Says Eden Hazard Will One Day Reveal What Is Wrong with Him
- Eden Hazard has endured a turbulent spell at Real Madrid since his much-hyped transfer to Santiago Bernabeu
- The Belgian has failed to live up to his billing and price tag, with a string of injuries taking a huge toll on his form
- However, Marco Asensio reckons Hazard will one day disclose the reasons behind his struggles at Real Madrid
- Asensio's sentiments come at a time Real are said to be ready to take a hit on the huge fee they paid for the winger and let him depart in the summer
Real Madrid ace Marco Asensio believes Eden Hazard will one day open up on what went wrong with him after moving to Santiago Bernabeu.
Hazard has failed to hit top form since his much-hyped switch to Real in the summer of 2019 from Chelsea.
The La Liga giants forked out an eyewatering initial £89million transfer fee to land the services of the Belgian.
Eden Hazard's struggles at Real
Hazard's two-and-half-year spell with Real Madrid has been punctuated with a string of injuries which have hampered his progress at the club.
The winger has actually spent more time on the sidelines than he has on the pitch, with his worrying dip in form seeing him score just four goals since his arrival in Spain.
Even with Real currently topping the standings under Carlo Ancelotti, the 31-year-old has had minimal influence in the fine run of results.
The former Chelsea playmaker is now being tipped to depart in the summer, with Real believed to be ready to take a huge hit on the huge fee they paid for his services.
Asensio on Hazard's struggles
However, before then, Asensio contends Hazard will one day open up on the reasons behind his underwhelming spell in Spain.
“I see him well. He trains well, I see him wanting to give Madrid joy, but many things have been put together, some injury… it’s difficult to know," The Sun quoted Asensio saying.
