Eden Hazard’s stage at Real Madrid comes to an end. After four seasons in white with hardly any participation, the Belgian, who despite his residual role had one of the highest chips in the white squad, has finally accepted a termination agreement for the remaining year of his contract.
The former Lille and Chelsea soccer player, who arrived at the Santiago Bernabéu in 2019 as a true star, thus leaves the White House as one of the least profitable signings in the history of the Chamartín club. The institution chaired by Florentino Pérez paid the astronomical figure of at least 115 million euros for the then ‘blue’ footballer, which could have been more according to the Belgian press.
He came endorsed by his great name in the powerful English Premier League, undisputed leader of Chelsea who won their second Europa League. His electric game, with dizzying drives and a lot of goals, convinced the noble area of Concha Espina to bet on the Belgian as the franchise player of a Real Madrid in full post-Cristiano depression.
The illusion did not last long, since the ordeal with injuries, almost twenty in his time in white, began already in his first summer in Madrid. Without a preseason, Hazard made his debut on matchday four of the League against Levante but never reached a certain continuity. The fissure in his fibula caused by his compatriot Meunier in a duel against PSG in November conditioned his entire first campaign as a Real Madrid player and from then on his history has been a ‘déjà vu’. Every summer the Merengue fans relied on his development, and each preseason began with a questionable physical condition, until he accumulated physical ailments and weeks off.
