A fresh insight into the future of Eden Hazard has been forthcoming late on Saturday evening.
The subject of Belgian international Hazard’s future, of course, has taken its place front and centre in the European headlines across the day to date.
This comes after word was forthcoming that the gifted wide-man’s dismal Real Madrid stint, finally, is set to come to an end.
As confirmed in an official statement across Los Blancos’ social media platforms, an agreement has been reached, whereby Hazard’s contract will be terminated this month, a full calendar year in advance of its original expiration date:
‘Real Madrid Football Club and Eden Hazard have reached an agreement whereby the player will leave the club as of 30 June 2023.
‘Eden Hazard has been part of our club for four seasons, during which time he has won 8 titles: 1 European Cup, 1 Club World Cup, 1 European Super Cup, 2 LaLiga titles, 1 Copa del Rey and 2 Spanish Super Cups.
Official Statement: Hazard.#RealMadrid

In just weeks’ time, Hazard, as a result, will be available as a free agent.
And, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then one club have already set their sights firmly on the 32-year-old’s signature.
Though it has been suggested that Hazard could simply call time on his playing career, MLS outfit Vancouver Whitecaps are keen to see the one-time Chelsea talisman prolong his time on the pitch.
That’s according to Arancha Rodriguez of Spanish outlet Cope, who has gone as far as to claim that the Whitecaps have tabled a contract offer to Hazard.
