Eden Hazard’s time with Real Madrid is over. The La Liga giants announced on Saturday that it reached a contract termination with Hazard that will see the player depart one year before his contract was set to expire. 

Hazard will leave the club after four disappointing seasons during which he only played 76 matches and scored seven goals.

It is unclear what Hazard’s next step will be. He isn’t expected to draw a lot of interest from big European clubs, so he might decide to cash in on his reputation and play in MLS or Saudi Arabia. He was most recently linked with CF Montréal.

Eden Hazard became one of the world’s best soccer players during his time with LOSC Lille and Chelsea. His creativity, vision, and feel for goal made him a nightmare for the opponent’s defenses and helped him win multiple individual accolades, including Premier League Player of the Season in 2014–15.

After he scored 110 goals and had 92 assists with Chelsea in seven seasons in Premier League, Hazard secured a €146 million transfer to Real Madrid, becoming the club’s most-expensive signing in history. He was expected to launch a new era for the famed La Liga side and help them get more trophies in the building. And while the trophies came, it wasn’t thanks to Hazard.

Hazard never settled in Madrid the way he was expected to. He missed long stretches with multiple injuries and struggled with inconsistencies when he was available. Eventually, he was phased out by younger and hungrier players like Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo and only played 10 games in all competitions in 2022-23 despite being healthy for the better part of the campaign.

The problem that Belgium international forward Eden Hazard has at Real Madrid this season is finally revealed. His manager Carl Ancelotti simply prefers “another player.”

Ancelotti himself admitted this on Tuesday when he was asked by reporters about Hazard’s lack of playing time.

“The problem [Hazard] has right now is he has a coach who prefers another player,” Ancelotti said. “That can happen in a squad like Real Madrid’s. What’s important is the player has the motivation to work to play. He is doing that.”

Ancelotti added that Hazard has “all the characteristics” to be Real’s player and expressed belief that the 30-year-old will start getting more playing time as the season progresses if he continues to show improvements in form.

Hazard made eight appearances for Real in 2021-22 and has collected five starts in all competitions. He is yet to score a goal but managed to contribute an assist season opener against Alaves.

Eden Hazard joined Real Madrid in 2019 from Chelsea in a transfer worth around $115 million. At the time, he was considered one of the world’s best players and supposed to be the leader for the La Liga side in years to come. But things haven’t exactly worked out as planned as Hazard often battled with injuries since arriving in Spain while struggling to make an impact when healthy.

Real Madrid had a Saturday night to forget, losing to mid-table Alaves by a 1-2 final score at home.

Not only did Los Blancos disappoint with an unexpected loss, but they also had to lament losing Eden Hazard to injury once again after the winger hobbled off of the pitch in the first half.

Hazard left the game in only the 28th minute after he came up lame and was forced to leave the match early. It was yet another disappointing development for the Belgian, who has suffered seven different injuries since signing for Real Madrid last summer.

The winger was taken down by an Alaves defender in the penalty area just before he was forced to leave the game, but no foul was called.

No immediate diagnosis was offered for exactly what type of injury the star had suffered, but it appeared to have been related to his problematic legs which have kept him from getting it going since last summer.

Hazard played only 14 La Liga matches last season for Los Blancos, and his Saturday night appearance was only his third of the season for Real Madrid in the current campaign.

While it remains to be seen when he will return, it’s just another in a series of disappointments for the Chelsea star in the Spanish capital.
