Eden Hazard ‘set to retire’ aged just 32 after Real Madrid injury hell with Chelsea legend snubbing Saudi transfer deals

EDEN HAZARD is expected to retire aged just 32 amid claims he has snubbed various offers from Saudi clubs.

The Chelsea legend is a free agent after four injury-hit years at Real Madrid.

The 126-cap Belgian has reportedly interested Vancouver Whitecaps, Nice, Marseille and old club Lille.

But  say Hazard intends to quit playing - with an announcement imminent.

He never reproduced the exhilarating form of his seven golden years with Chelsea after joining Real for £115million in 2019.

Apart from his woe with injuries, there were even mutterings at times about his fitness and conditioning.

Hazard quit international football following Belgium's dismal World Cup exit last December.

And having been without a club since his Real contract expired in June, he's believed to have decided he'd rather bow out than drift on.

He could have taken twice the money in Saudi Arabia but been half the player he once was, judging by his decline since departing Chelsea.

In fact, Hazard played just six LaLiga games for Real last season.

That meant, in total, his dream move to the Bernabeu amounted to just seven goals in 76 appearances.

In contrast, Hazard's stats at Chelsea back up his status as one of the club's all-time greats.

He amassed 352 appearances, 110 goals and 92 assists for the Blues, also making him one of the Premier League's finest-ever players.
