Eden Hazard’s football career could end soon as the Belgian forward is considering retiring from professional football when his current Real Madrid contract expires.

The Belgian winger was rated as one of the best wingers in the world at some point and was snapped up by Real Madrid in 2019 for a then British transfer record of £142m from Chelsea.

Despite having a limited role in the team under Carlo Ancelotti, the 32-year-old forward has won all major trophies, including the UEFA Champions League and, most recently, the Copa del Rey.

Hazard has already announced his retirement from international football in 2022 after Belgium was eliminated from the FIFA World Cup.

Hazard is not leaving Real Madrid

Meanwhile, Eden Hazard has revealed he wants to fulfil his contract at Real Madrid and is not considering leaving the Spanish giants at the end of the season, Marca reports.

The 32-year-old forward revealed the 2022/23 campaign has been a tough one for him personally as he has failed to feature constantly for Los Blancos.

Hazard has one year left on his contract at Real Madrid and is one of the players who could leave the reigning La Liga champions in the summer.

Hazard looks unhappy during celebrations

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey for the first time since 2014 after beating Osasuna in the final in Seville but Eden Hazard wasn’t too pleased.

After the blast of the final whistle, the playing body switched into a jubilant mood following their triumph and gleefully posed for a team photo on the podium.

But one player, Eden Hazard, did not seem happy, perhaps with himself, despite adding another title to his growing trophy cabinet during his stint with Madrid.
