Belgian forward Eden Hazard is reportedly set to shock the world with his next career move
Former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Eden Hazard is reportedly set for a shock move to Belgian second-division side RWD Molenbeek, which just gained promotion to the top flight following the end of his Real Madrid stint.
Hazard considers next step after Real Madrid exit
The forward is out of contract after leaving Real Madrid following a terrible Real Madrid career that saw him fail miserably to live up to his enormous transfer fee in a purchase from Chelsea.
Hazard endured a poor spell with Los Blancos that saw him score four goals in four years in LaLiga and eventually become just a bit-part player at the club, playing less than 500 minutes in all competitions in the entire 2022/23 campaign with Real Madrid.
The Belgian forward was forced to terminate his Real Madrid contract one year early after clearly failing to make an impact in the team and with Los Blancos enforcing an attacking clearout to make room for new signings.
Hazard close to signing with newly-promoted Molenbeek
According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Hazard could be tempted to make his next step with newly promoted Molenbeek as he looks to get his career back on track.
Hazard has received propositions from the USA and Saudi Arabia despite being rumoured to be considering retirement from football due to the difficulty of his Real Madrid spell, but he could now be tempted by a move to Molenbeek to play alongside his brother Kylian.
Considering the financial windfall from the termination of his Real Madrid contract, Hazard could move to Molenbeek without putting financial pressure on the newly-promoted club, giving him the freedom to play his best football once again in his native Belgium.
