Eden Hazard Real Madrid plan confirmed amid MLS transfer talk and Chelsea return links

Eden Hazard intends to remain at Real Madrid until his contract expires in 2024, according to a new report. The 32-year-old has long been linked with a sensational return to Chelsea after leaving the club in 2019 with his three-and-a-half campaigns in the Spanish capital being plagued with injuries.

With the €100million (£88.3m) transfer of Hazard from Chelsea not working out for Madrid, the club have been trying to cut ties with the Belgian, who retired from international football after the World Cup, since the summer of 2021.

Despite this upsetting Hazard, the Athletic have revealed that he wishes to stay at Madrid until his current deal expires next summer for a number of professional and personal reasons. Hazard is the highest-paid player at the club and seemingly does not want to sacrifice that until his tenure reaches a climax.
