If there’s one player that is widely loved around the world for his style of play: it’s Eden Hazard. The Belgian rose to the occasion against Elche in the Copa del Rey Round of 16 after scoring a late winner to book Los Blancos’ spot in the quarter-finals of the domestic cup. Many consider this to be Hazard’s lightbulb moment in his Real Madrid career.
Hazard’s goal against Elche has been deemed to be the missing piece in the puzzle for him to turn around his career at the Spanish capital. However, this has often been the case for the Belgian since signing for Real Madrid in 2019.
In the past three seasons, whenever Eden Hazard has scored or performed well, fans immediately hope that this could be the moment for Hazard to refind his old form. What’s followed is either another injury setback or relapse or just decent performances that are simply not enough.
While previously Hazard continuously struggled with injuries, the Belgian has somewhat been relieved of his injury worries and woes this season. Despite overcoming his physical issues, Eden Hazard has faced an uphill battle to secure regular minutes after falling down the pecking order of wingers under Carlo Ancelotti.

The report also states that Eden Hazard is open to leaving but is committed to completing the season before moving on. Let us now look into three possible reasons why Hazard wants to leave Real Madrid.
