Eden Hazard is not in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for this season, and Real Madrid is willing to let him go in January. The Belgium international traveled to Saudi Arabia with the rest of his colleagues, but he did not feature in either of Real Madrid’s two Supercopa de Espana games.
Hazard’s Possible Departure
Hazard’s departure might happen in the coming days, according to reports from his homeland, but Los Blancos are aware that finding a club willing to fund the balance of his wage for the rest of the season will be difficult.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, recognizes that Hazard’s condition is not ideal for either the player or the club, and while he may not have caused any difficulties in the dressing room, his lack of playing time may cause some issues in the team.
Hazard isn’t in Ancelotti’s plans
Hazard did not take part in the celebrations following Real Madrid’s Supercopa de Espana victory. After Vinicius Junior stepped up and established himself in the starting lineup this season, the 31-year-old forward has dropped below both Marco Asensio and Rodrygo Goes in Ancelotti’s pecking order.
Hazard performed 45 minutes for Getafe after starting three games in a row against Cadiz, Athletic Club, and Alcoyano, but his performances were not impressive. Due to Asensio’s injury and the absence of Gareth Bale, the Belgian forward may have a second chance to shine in Thursday’s Copa del Rey match at Elche, but his future remains questionable.
About the Belgian Footballer
He is regarded as one of the best players of his generation for his creativity, dribbling, and passing. Hazard began his career in Belgium, where he played for local youth clubs, as the son of two former players.
Hazard joined English club Chelsea in June 2012 after making over 190 appearances for Lille and scoring 50 goals. In his first season, he won the UEFA Europa League, and in his second, he earned the PFA Young Player of the Year.
He captained Belgium to their best-ever third-place result at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, earning the Silver Ball as the tournament’s second-best player. He has been the team’s captain since 2015 when Belgium was ranked number one in the world for the first time in men’s FIFA rankings.
