Hazard is set to bid farewell to the Santiago Bernabeu during Real Madrid's last match of the season. While Hazard initially intended to stay, Real Madrid wanted him to leave, resulting in an agreement.

Retirement is a possibility for Hazard, but no decision has been made yet. Since joining Real Madrid, Hazard has made 76 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing 12 assists.
