The Belgian is one of the best players in the world when Real paid an initial £88.3m, potentially rising to £150m with add-ons, to sign him from Chelsea in year 2019.

But after continuously struggling with form and fitness, Hazard decided to retire from professional football at the age of 32 last October.

Hazard ‘s weight quickly became an issue after he joined Zinedine Zidane’s Real for their pre-season tour of North America in 2019.

Speaking to L’Equipe, Hazard admitted: “With Chelsea, I just finished one of the best seasons of my career. I said to myself: ‘Now I’m at Real Madrid, this is probably the best season of my career.’ The last break I can take…'”

” And I indulge myself the way I relax every summer. Seven years in England, no Christmas break, giving it my all, so when I have three or four weeks off, ‘don’t bother me’ , barbecues, rosé wine… all that stuff. Then, Real, it all went wrong and that’s it.”
