Confirmed! Hazard to remain at Real Madrid next season despite link to Chelsea

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti in a recent statement, has insisted that Eden Hazard will now remain at the club till next season.

This contradicts previous reports that had claimed that Hazard would leave the Spanish club this summer’s transfer window.

Hazard has again struggled to make his mark for the Los Blancos this season, with just one goal and two assists in 17 appearances in all competitions.

EPL side Newcastle United have been strongly linked with moves for the striker, and it was thought that his next destination would be in the EPL.

However, Ancelotti has said that the former Blues talisman is in the club’s plans for the 2022-23 campaign.

“Hazard is in our plans for the next season, I can confirm,” Ancelotti told reporters.

Aside from Newcastle United, Hazard has also been linked with a return to Chelsea, but the UCL champions want to pay low to sign him.

Hazard was impressive for the Los Blancos during their match against Elche in the last-16 stage of the Copa del Rey on Thursday night as he came from the bench to score the winning goal.

The Belgian striker is expected to start for Real Madrid when they face Elche in the La Liga on Sunday.
