      But Hazard is now set to depart Real after four injury-laden seasons in search of pastures new.
      A statement confirmed: “Real Madrid C. F. and Eden Hazard have reached an agreement by which the player is disassociated from the club as of June 30, 2023.
      “Eden Hazard has been part of our club for four seasons, in which he has won 8 titles: 1 European Cup, 1 Club World Cup, 1 European Super Cup, 2 Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey and 2 Spanish Super Cups.”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, 32, joined Real in 2018 for an initial £86million after winning the Europa League with Chelsea.

      That figure eventually rose to a staggering £125m after further LaLiga and Champions League success at the Bernabeu.
      But numerous injuries meant Hazard was barely involved in those triumphs.
      He played 76 times in all competitions for Real – just 14 more games than he managed in his first single season at Chelsea.
      Indeed, Hazard featured only six times in the league this term.

      And some reports suggest he could even retire from the game after a glittering career that peaked at Stamford Bridge.
      Hazard spent seven seasons at Chelsea, becoming a club icon and fan favourite with 110 goals in 352 games.
      He landed two Premier League titles, two Europa Leagues and an FA Cup during his time in London.
      But Hazard decided to leave in 2018 for Real as he felt he had a better chance of winning the Champions League with them.
      The Belgian finally got his hands on the trophy in 2022, yet he would have won it a year earlier if he had stayed at Stamford Bridge.
      Before Chelsea, Hazard led Lille to Ligue 1 glory in 2011.
      He also won 126 caps for Belgium before retiring after their group stage exit at the Qatar World Cup.
      And should there be no takers for Hazard this summer, his time in club football could also be coming to an end. More

      According to The Athletic, Real are among the clubs keeping tabs in the star striker after Ancelotti declared his interest during transfer showdown talks with the club’s hierarchy.
      The Italian tactician met with president Florentino Perez and general manager Jose Angel Sanchez on Thursday at Los Blancos’ Valdebebas training ground.
      That is when the ex-Chelsea boss asked for the England captain to reinforce his attack ahead of next season.
      The former Everton manager will need a new centre-forward if Karim Benzema ends his legendary 14-year stint at Santiago Bernabeu amid ongoing reports linking him with Al-Ittihad.

      Ancelotti remained coy, though, when addressing links with Kane recently.
      The 63-year-old head coach described the forward as a “top player” but insisted he wouldn’t discuss the topic further out of “respect” for Tottenham.
      Ancelotti said: “Harry Kane is a top player but we have to respect Tottenham, he’s a Tottenham player.
      “I can guarantee to you that Real Madrid will have a competitive team again next season”.

      The 29-year-old doesn’t appear keen to go abroad as he is only 48 goals away from surpassing Alan Shearer’s legendary Premier League record of 260.
      Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, though, is not keen to sell his star player to a direct rival. More

      Mount, 24, has been at the club since academy level and currently earns a weekly wage of £75,000.
      His current contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire at the end of next season.

      The club and new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, are believed to have insisted that they wanted to keep hold of the midfielder.
      However, Man Utd are now looking to seal a deal that would complete the move for Mount.
      Boss Erik ten Hag is thought to be a fan of Mount’s pressing game and is keen to add more athleticism to his midfield options.
      Chelsea are looking to sell multiple stars this summer to make up for the £600million outlay on players over the last year.

      An exit for Mount would relieve potential FFP issues the club could face with the Blues holding out for £70m plus add-ons.
      Although due to his contract running down, the Red Devils are hoping to pay between £50m and £60m and have made contact with the London club.
      If a deal cannot be agreed with United or another of Mount’s suitors, the Blues would look to get one last season out of him and try to persuade him to stay for longer in the meantime.
      Mount looked emotional at the end of Chelsea’s final match of the season last month as he waved goodbye to supporters. More
