EDEN HAZARD has allegedly “held talks with Al-Nassr boss Rudi Garcia” regarding a transfer that would see him link-up with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Belgian forward, 32, has endured a torrid three-and-a-half years at Real Madrid since his arrival from Chelsea.
The star has been plagued by injury at the Bernabeu which has restricted him to 73 appearances and seven goals.
Last month he retired from international football following Belgium’s shock group-stage exit at the World Cup in Qatar.
Then a fresh report emerged that his club career in Europe could be set to come to an end.
It stated that Ronaldo’s new side, Al-Nassr, are interested in bringing him to Saudi Arabia.

Manager Rudi Garcia previously worked with Hazard for four years at Lille.
And now those rumours are intensifying, according to El Chiringuito, as they claim that he met up with Garcia to discuss a possible move.
They shared a clip of Hazard arriving and then being accompanied into a building which they claimed was “the office of Garcia” where they were believed to have discussed his future.
They certainly have the funds to bring the Los Blancos man to the Middle East after showing their lucrative wealth by handing Ronaldo, 37, a £173million-a-year deal.

The move may also be of interest to Real Madrid.
Hazard will enter the final year of his contract this summer.
And the Spanish champions will be keen to scrape back some of the £130m they paid for him before his deal runs out.
