It was discovered that a Premier League club made a wise decision to sign Eden Hazard amid rumors of his likely retirement.
Eden Hazard reportedly had “legitimate” interest in joining the Premier League again in the summer, but after he turned down the offer, a source stated his retirement “would not surprise” them.
Hazard’s career went south after he made a more than £100 million transfer to Real Madrid in 2019. The winger had a fantastic career at Chelsea, where he developed into one of the best and most talented players in Europe.
Hazard won the Premier League twice while playing with the Blues and directly assisted in 202 goals over the course of 352 games. Although he was at his best in Madrid, he was unable to continue this success with Real, scoring just three goals in a season.
After four incredibly unsuccessful seasons with the La Liga giants, the Belgian left on a free transfer, despite the fact that he hadn’t had many opportunities recently. He hasn’t signed with another team, and at 32, retirement is a very real possibility.
He did have the chance to continue, though, as Crystal Palace was one of the teams who wanted to bring him back into the Premier League. Their interest was indicated over the summer, with fresh confirmation from insider Dean Jones.
He told GIVEMESPORT that he didn’t seem to have any motivation to make a comeback. There have been numerous sizable offers for him, including one from Crystal Palace that would have allowed him to play in the Premier League once more.
It might be challenging for Hazard to make a comeback, according to Jones, given that he didn’t play much in his final season with Real and hasn’t been affiliated with a team since leaving.
He hasn’t played in a while, so it might take him some time to perform at his best. Jones went on to say, “He would have to work very hard to get back to top condition.”
“Since he is a free agent, clubs that have expressed interest in him have not been shut out, but this player is very self-assured, is not influenced by outside noise or behaviors, and will make the decision entirely on his own terms,” a source claimed.
Jones thinks Hazard’s current lack of interest in signing with a new squad is a sign that retirement may soon be on the horizon.
He continued, “I wouldn’t be shocked if Hazard decided to stop playing football right now.
Despite the fact that it would be regrettable to see a modern great give up his cleats, his career’s last few seasons have not gone as planned, and even if he decides to hang up his boots, he still had a stellar peak before things went south.
