Eden Hazard drops hint he is close to retirement insisting

Former Real Madrid and Chelsea star Eden Hazard has dropped a hint that retirement is edging closer in a new documentary series on the Belgian national team.

Hazard was released by Spanish giants Real Madrid in the summer after making just 76 appearances across four seasons at the club.

Real bought the winger from Chelsea for an initial fee of £89m rising to a potential £150m, but his spell in Spain was plagued with injuries.

After scoring just seven goals for the club, Hazard now finds himself without a club at the age of 32.

And in a soon-to-be-released documentary about the Red Devils called 'Believe', the Belgian seemed to suggest retiring was his next move insisting: 'it's time to enjoy life by drinking a few beers.'

The docu-series follows the day-to-day life of the Belgian national team through various players, including Johan Bakayoko, Amadou Onana, Jan Vertonghen and Hazard himself.

The winger did reportedly have some English clubs interested in him after leaving Madrid, but concerns about his fitness seemed to be a major barrier.

The Belgian winger suffered 18 seperate injuries during his spell in the Spanish capital, ruling him out of 95 games for club and country.

This was a complete contradiction to his time at Chelsea, where the Belgian was rarely injured and knotched 110 goals and 92 assists in 352 appearances for the Blues.

Hazard won the Premier League twice and the PFA Player of the Year award at Chelsea, but also secured two La Liga titles and the Champions League with Real Madrid.

He retired from international duty after Belgium crashed out of the group stages at the Qatar World Cup and looks to be following the same route with his club career.
