Real Madrid terminate Eden Hazard’s contract

Real Madrid have terminated Eden Hazard’s contract with the
club.

The two parties mutually agreed to terminate the contract on
Saturday.

In a statement posted on the club website, Real said: “Real
Madrid CF and Eden Hazard have reached an agreement whereby the player will be
released from the club as of June 30, 2023.

“Real Madrid wants to express its affection for Eden Hazard
and wishes him and his entire family the best of luck in this new stage.”

Hazard had endured a nightmare spell at the Bernabeu since
joining the club from Chelsea in 2019, and failed to live up to expectations
from when he signed.

During his four years in Spain, the Belgian won the European
Cup, Club World Cup, European Super Cup, two Leagues, one Copa del Rey and two
Spanish Super Cups.
