Inter Milan emerge as a potential summer destination for Real Madrid flop
When Eden Hazard completed his mega-money move to Real Madrid from Chelsea in 2019, it was seen as a huge coup. After all, the Belgian wing-wizard was one of the best in the game at the time and had just helped the Blues win the UEFA Europa League.
However, in the three years that he has been at the Santiago Bernabeu, Madridistas have never been able to get a glimpse of the man who defences used to fear coming up against.
Instead, Hazard has looked a pale shadow of his past best, struggling with injuries and fitness problems, failing to live up to the expectations.
Having fallen way down the pecking order at Real Madrid this season, the 31-year-old has played just three times in La Liga. And an exit in the near future is certainly on the horizon for the winger, who recently announced his retirement from international football.
And as per reports relayed by Mundo Deportivo, Italian giants Inter Milan would be willing to offer Hazard an escape route from Real Madrid in the summer of 2023.
The Nerazzurri are reportedly looking to add more firepower to their wide areas after having lost Ivan Perisic to Tottenham Hotspur this past summer. And they believe Hazard could be a viable signing to fill that void.
The 31-year-old, prior to Belgium’s exit from the FIFA World Cup 2022, had confirmed in an interview that he would leave Real Madrid if the club wanted him to. And a move to the MLS has emerged as a possibility for the veteran winger.
However, a chance to stay in Europe and continue playing at the top level with a team like Inter Milan could appeal to the former Chelsea ace.
Real Madrid, for their part, are willing to do anything to help Hazard find a new destination next year even though his contract runs until the summer of 2024. With Inter Milan now emerging as a possible destination for the 31-year-old, whether a move materialises will be interesting to see.

Carlos Espi reacts after scoring match-winning goal in Elche 2-3 Real Madrid: ‘Starting like this is a dream’
Carlos Espi is becoming Real Madrid’s unlikely late-game specialist.
The 21-year-old once again came off the bench to rescue Jose Mourinho’s side, this time scoring the 91st-minute winner in a dramatic 3-2 victory over Elche.
It was his second goal for the club, and both have arrived at crucial moments.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV after the match, Espi could barely contain his excitement.
“I’m so happy—the happiest man in the world. I try to help the team any way I can, and every time I step onto the field, I give it my all and come away feeling great.
“Starting like this has been a dream. This isn’t over yet; we’re going to keep going because we have Sunday’s match coming up.

“This is a team effort. All of us who take the field make the most of our opportunities and give it our all,” he began.
Espi keeps making his minutes count
There is a growing pattern to Espi’s involvement. Even though he has yet to start a match for the first team, that has not stopped him from making an impact.
His first goal arrived against Espanyol in Real Madrid’s opening game, when another late strike helped secure the result.
Against Elche, he was required again after Real Madrid surrendered a two-goal lead and suddenly found themselves in serious trouble.
Espi eventually appeared at the back post in the 91st minute and finished the move to give Mourinho’s team all three points.
The youngster shared the credit with his teammates, but he also had special praise for the player who supplied his decisive moment.
That assist came from Kylian Mbappe, whose presence has made Espi’s route into the starting XI particularly difficult.
“It’s unbelievable—it’s crazy to watch him train and play. In this case, he set me up for the goal, and I’m very happy for him, too.”
First Madrid derby already has Espi excited
The timing of Espi’s latest contribution could hardly be more interesting, as Real Madrid now face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, giving the forward an opportunity to experience his first Madrid derby.
“I’m really looking forward to it—I’m so excited. It’s my first derby here, and we’re going to go for it.”
For Mourinho, Espi is a useful option when matches become chaotic. He may not yet be a regular starter, but his two appearances on the scoresheet have carried considerably more weight than the minutes he has played.
