High expectations were certainly pinned by the public on Eden Hazard when he decided to leave Chelsea and join Real Madrid, not only because of the consistency and sharpness he showed during seven seasons at Stamford Bridge, the Belgian player was also bought for a fantastic price, 115 million euros.
Unfortunately, so far he has not been able to show maximum performance, Hazard is more often injured and absent for a long time. Although he has recovered, he has also spent more time on the bench.
This situation has made Hazard begin to be linked with the club’s exit, not a few predict if he will be one of the players released in the summer of 2022.

After recently opting to remain silent, Eden Hazard finally spoke up. The player who also had time to defend Lille confirmed that he had absolutely no intention of leaving the Santiago Bernabeu.
“Do I feel free after undergoing surgery? It was a success. At the moment everything is going well. I am ready to take part in the Champions League final,” Hazard said as reported by the Mirror.
“I don’t want to rush like before. The coach also understands the situation I’m in, as well as the club’s medical staff. We’ve been working well. Now, I also feel very good,” he added.
