MADRID, Spain – Real Madrid have announced the termination of Eden Hazard’s contract with the club.
The decision, which was mutually agreed upon, was made public on Saturday, June 3, 2023.
According to a statement on the club’s website, Real Madrid and Eden Hazard agreed to terminate his contract effective June 30, 2023.
The statement read: “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 expressed their best wishes for Hazard: “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’s time at the Bernabeu has been challenging since his high-profile move from Chelsea in 2019.
Despite the high expectations, the Belgian star struggled to showcase his skills due to various injury issues consistently.
However, during his four-year tenure in Spain, Hazard added significant titles to his collection, including the European Cup, Club World Cup, European Super Cup, two La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups.
Despite these accolades, Hazard’s time at Madrid will likely be remembered for the unfulfilled promise of his potential impact.
