Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard is said to be considering retiring from the sport at the age of 32. He terminated his lucrative £400,000-a-week contract with Real Madrid ahead of its expiry, concluding his career at the club prematurely. Hazard also retired from international football following Belgium’s disappointing 2022 World Cup performance.
Reports from Spain indicate that Hazard is contemplating staying in Madrid with his family, marking a potential transition to retirement. He faces a difficult decision of finding a new club close to the city or retiring from a career that once positioned him as one of Europe’s top players.
Real Madrid confirmed Hazard’s departure, acknowledging his four-season tenure and the titles won during his time at the club. The statement expressed the club’s appreciation for Hazard and wished him and his family well in their future endeavors.
Hazard’s waning passion for the game during his stint at Real Madrid is believed to have influenced his contemplation of retirement from football.
