Real Madrid Open to Allowing Eden Hazard to Leave This Summer

• Eden Hazard's career in Spain is set to come to an end, with Spanish reports suggesting that Real Madrid are prepared to sell him
• Hazard's stint at the Santiago Bernabeu has not gone to plan; he left English club Chelsea three seasons ago
• With just 66 appearances and six goals, Hazard has barely played a vital role to Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League and two La Liga triumphs

Hazard's time in Spain has been calamitous, with fitness concerns putting the former Premier League star on the sidelines.

Belgium captain Eden Hazard has reportedly been made available for transfer by Spanish club Real Madrid.

Hazard has been underwhelming, often plagued by injuries since he made the £88.5 million switch from Chelsea in 2019.

The 31-year-old is yet to live up to the name he built for himself during a stellar seven-year stay in England.

Eden Hazard has only featured 66 times for the Los Blancos and scored six goals.

And according to Spanish publication Relevo, Carlo Ancelotti has given Real Madrid the go-ahead to sell the former Chelsea talisman if a proper offer arrives.

Hazard struggled to find playing time under Ancelotti last season, making just seven starts in the league last season.

He was seen as an alternative for Karim Benzema, playing as a false nine.

Hazard's favourite position is on the left wing, but the emergence of Vinicius Junior has made it impossible for the Belgian to break through. The Daily Mail reports that Ancelotti intends to rotate between Benzema and Hazard next season as the World Cup approaches.

Benzema will soon be turning 35 and there will be concerns if he can still perform at high levels. Hazard was often used in the false number 9 role at Chelsea by managers Maurizio Sarri and Antonio Conte.

Eden Hazard sends a hopeful message to Real Madrid fans ahead of next season

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Eden Hazard had offered a message of optimism to Real Madrid fans after their Champions League triumph. Hazard assured the fans that next season will be his chance to show the world what he is capable of.

The winger was signed from Chelsea in 2019 but has endured a difficult three years in Madrid due to constant injuries. This season, the Belgian has only started seven games.

Vinicius Junior has enjoyed a remarkable campaign that Hazard has had to contend with a place on the bench.
