After signing for €100 million from Chelsea in 2019, the Belgian has struggled to make a lasting impression in Madrid, and his time in Spain has been marred by injuries.
Since Carlo Ancelotti has effectively removed Hazard from first-team duty, Hazard has openly acknowledged his frustration at the absence of a position with Los Blancos.
Despite being fit, the 32-year-old hasn't played a minute of La Liga or Champions League since returning from the World Cup.
As he enters the final year of his contract this summer, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano told Caught Offside in his exclusive column that a decision needs to be made for all parties.
In order to remove Hazard from their wage list, Real Madrid are willing to let him leave at a reduced price and take a significant financial loss on the winger.
“Hazard wants to play. He wants to be a regular starter, with game time, and be part of the starting XI”, Fabrizio Romano said.
“This is crucial for him, more than the league or country he plays in. There will be a meeting with Real Madrid to discuss his future soon.”
However, Los Blancos may be forced to release him as a free agent in order to resolve the situation, and MLS interest is likely to only come in the form of a free transfer.
