Real Madrid misfit Eden Hazard has insisted that he wants to succeed at the Spanish clubs amid links with Chelsea and Newcastle United.

In a recent interview, as quoted by 90min, Eden Hazard insisted that he does not want to leave Real Madrid. The Belgian international, a target for Chelsea and Newcastle United, is hopeful that his situation will change after the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Hazard said, “I don’t want to leave Real Madrid. Maybe my situation will change after the World Cup. I want to play but it’s the manager who makes his choices. I accept [it], but I want to show him that I deserve to play more. When you don’t play it’s difficult.”

Eden Hazard completed a dream move when he joined Real Madrid from Chelsea for a nine-figure sum over three years ago. But the dream almost immediately turned into a nightmare, with fitness issues plaguing the 31-year-old. And he is now a peripheral figure for Los Blancos.

Hazard has managed only 229 minutes of game time thus far, starting six of the 20 games played by Real Madrid. And recent reports have claimed that the Belgian international is on borrowed time at the Santiago Bernabeu. But Hazard’s comments suggest he wants to turn his fortunes around after the World Cup.

In the meantime, Real Madrid might look to cash in on Real Madrid in the January transfer window. And the player has captured the attention of several clubs in Europe, with Premier League his likely destination. The report by 90min suggests Chelsea and Newcastle United are among his prospective suitors.

The Magpies have shown interest in Hazard. And despite his recent struggles, the Real Madrid misfit can potentially add a winning mentality to a squad looking to take the next step in their evolution. But Chelsea’s presence in the equation might disrupt Newcastle United.

Other clubs to have shown interest in the Real Madrid misfit are Aston Villa, Galatasaray, and Borussia Dortmund. It will be interesting to see how the Belgian international fares at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. For now, Hazard seems determined to fight for his future at Real Madrid.
