LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)-Eden Hazard may think about quitting sport as a professional as soon as his deal with Real Madrid expires in the summer of 2024.
After Belgium was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup in the group stage, the former captain of Belgium announced his retirement from international football.
According to Relevo, he is thinking about doing the same when his Real Madrid contract expires in 2024.
The Belgian reportedly feels that he has accomplished everything in football and that it is time to hang up his boots after playing for a club he always dreamed of representing.
However, it is still unclear whether he would consider retiring in 2024 as he still might receive some lucrative offers from the MLS and the Arab leagues.
The former Chelsea player, who has played only 331 minutes this season, has had a challenging time. Recent revelations that he and Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti do not communicate have also strained their relationship.
Although Hazard wants to finish out his current deal with the Spanish powerhouses, the team will be open to selling him after the upcoming campaign.
The opening leg of the Champions League semifinal between Ancelotti’s team and Manchester City will take place on Tuesday after they defeated Osasuna to win the Copa del Rey over the weekend.
