EDEN HAZARD is reportedly set to hold talks with Real Madrid over his future at the club.
The Belgian winger has had a torrid time with injuries since his big-money move from Chelsea in 2019.
Despite being fit now, Hazard is out of favour under manager Carlo Ancelotti.
He has only featured three times in LaLiga this season for Los Blancos.
And to make matters worse, he struggled to help Belgium during their disastrous World Cup campaign in Qatar, after which he retired from international football.
Madrid have wanted to move the 32-year-old on for the last couple of years but have struggled to find any takers for the high-earner.

Now, Hazard and his two agents will go to the LaLiga side to try and sort out his options and come to a decision, according to The Athletic.
The report suggests that Hazard does not want to leave the club during the season, so talks will wait until next month.
The former Chelsea star is believed to be able to earn £13.2million a season with his contract at Madrid.
The high salary means that club president Florentino Perez knows a sale or a loan will be very hard to arrange.

Despite the difficulties of shifting the player, it has not stopped rumours of interest in Hazard.
Both Chelsea and Newcastle have been credited with an interest in the winger, but the report suggests that neither have made “serious approaches”.
