Real Madrid are said to be losing patience with Eden Hazard. For a player who arrived for an astronomical €100 million from Chelsea, a return of mere six goals in three seasons is a far cry from what he used to be a few years back.

The Belgium international did promise the fans that they would see the best of him this season, but judging by the looks of things, the version he has promised is already past his prime.

This is exactly what those sitting in the Real Madrid offices are currently pondering. As reported by Jose Felix Diaz, while writing for MARCA, while the Madrid management is valuing his efforts, they are barely expecting anything from the winger.

To put things into perspective, Hazard has never been a problem player. On the contrary, he has always vowed to bring the best version of himself in Madrid colours, but it has become obvious that he is no longer the same player who terrorized the Premier League defenders in his seven years with Chelsea.

It’s not only the management, but even the manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has accepted the fact. This is exactly why Hazard failed to get any minutes in the Super League triumph. Furthermore, he has only clocked a mere 39 minutes in his two substitute appearances in La Liga this season.

In all fairness, maybe it is time to face the harsh reality because Hazard is already way down the pecking order. He knows this for the fact that Vinicius Jr is simply irreplaceable and once Rodrygo gets on, there will be absolutely no place for him in the team.

The position the Belgian finds himself in is extremely tricky. He has already made it clear that he is not willing to listen to any offers, but in reality, there are no offers in the first place.

Hence, the association will go on as usual, at least for the ongoing season.
