As reported by Sports Mole, Galatasaray are preparing to approach Madrid and possibly secure a deal for Hazard this summer. However, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is open to selling the player, despite Hazard's two years remaining on his contract.

Hazard currently earns € 475 000 a week at Madrid, and his salary expectations could be the only stumbling block in Galatasaray’s quest for the player.

The Turkish giants have made a few notable signings this transfer window, bringing in Lucas Torreira from Arsenal and Dries Mertens from Napoli. Galatasaray are hoping that Mertens can persuade his international teammate to now join him in Istanbul.

Hazard has maintained that he is happy in Madrid and is willing to fight for his place in the Los Blancos squad, but his stats at the club aren’t much for fans to be excited about.

As noted by TransferMarkt, Hazard has only made 67 appearances for the side since signing from Chelsea in 2019. He’s only scored six goals in that time and racked up 10 assists.

Real Madrid star Eden Hazard drops a big hint on his future after rough few years with La Liga champions

Eden Hazard is quite determined to prove his worth to Real Madrid officials and fans, and the Belgian international has ruled out leaving the La Liga champions anytime soon.

Hazard has fallen down the pecking order at Real Madrid after struggling with fitness and loss of form since his big-money move from Chelsea in 2019.

The 31-year-old has now revealed he intends to see out his remaining years with the La Liga champions.
