TOP STORY: Hazard to tough it out at Real
Eden Hazard has no plans to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season despite a tough few years at the Santiago Bernabeu, writes Sport.
The 31-year-old’s younger brother has revealed that Hazard, who has a contract with Real until 2024, and his family are happy in Madrid and have no plans to leave before his deal expires.
Speaking to Belgian outlet Het Laatste Nieuews, Hazard’s brother said: “He is fine where he is, his family feels good there. He has a contract until 2024 and I think he will wait until then.
“Maybe he’s playing a little less now and the team is functioning without him, but everyone knows how good he is.”
Hazard joined Los Blancos from Chelsea in 2019 for an initial fee of around £88.5 million, but he has started just 10 games of his 25 appearances in Spain this season. Despite those challenges, the latest suggests that Hazard is prepared to stay and prove himself to Carlo Ancelotti.
