While rumors sent Eden Hazard to the departure, the Red Devil should stay in Madrid this winter. As we wrote a few days ago, the player wants to bet on stability. At least until this summer. “Although the club opened the door to him, Eden Hazard does not want to leave Real Madrid”, says Marca. “His priority is to stay and finish the season with the club of his dreams. And this, despite the various events which show that his role in the team is very limited.”
The daily specifies that only Real Madrid could push the player to leave. “Even in this case, it would be very difficult to find a buyer club because of the conditions of his transfer”, adds Marca. Bought for 115 million euros, it is now estimated at 18 million euros by Transfermarkt. But it is essentially his salary of 13 million euros per year that could pose a problem.
Above all, would Casa Blanca be right to force a departure? The club has no financial problem and can keep a player who could still be of great service to them in the event of an injury to Vinicius, for example. Madrid’s position is clear: in the event of an excessive offer, the player can leave. No problem if he stays on the other hand.
Hazard prefers to wait
Obviously, the Supercopa cooled number 7 of the Real. Especially when we know that it has regained some light at the end of this year 2021 (3 starts and a half-time entry). “He is aware that he still lacked a bit of rhythm. But his feelings had improved. The games against Barça and Bilbao slowed his progress. Not his current and future desires”, assure our colleagues.
A departure from Hazard therefore seems (very) compromised this winter. Like a warrior, he still wants to succeed and fight for his dream: to succeed at Real Madrid. But it’s not just the sportsman who counts for the most expensive transfer in the history of Real. Hazard has just become a parent for the fifth time. For him, the well-being of his family is a priority and comes before everything else. Therefore, he does not want to impose on his relatives a new move in the middle of the year. And he doesn’t want to part with them for a few months.
Of course, Real remains open to a departure. But all parties will meet for a stocktaking this summer. Until then, a lot can unfold.
