Real Madrid's Eden Hazard has ruled out a move away from the Spanish capital this summer, despite failing to make much of an impact at the club so far.
The 31-year-old arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu with high expectations in 2019 after a fruitful - if turbulent - spell at Chelsea that saw him score 110 goals in 352 appearances.
He signed for Real Madrid for £118million, the highest fee ever-paid for a Belgian player, in June 2019.
Injuries have limited the Belgian to just 66 appearances in three years and, when he has got on the pitch, Hazard has been below his best. He has only scored six Real Madrid goals.
Despite his woes in Spain, Hazard is hopeful of playing in the Champions League final against Liverpool in Paris on Saturday night and kicking on his career at Los Blancos from there.
He revealed in an interview with Het Laatse Nieuws that he is fully recovered and fit after having a plate removed from his ankle. He said: 'The surgery went well. Everything is going well at the moment.'
'I didn't want to go too fast like last time. The coach understood my situation, as did the medical staff. We have worked well. Now I feel really good.
'I am ready just in time to play a part in the Champions League final. I am desperate to show everyone what I can do.'
He continued: 'The coach knows that I still have a contract until 2024. My first three seasons at Real have not gone well.
'It has always been a dream to play for Real. It still is.'
Saturday's final will be an excellent test for the forward, who has so far managed just one goal in 23 appearances for Real Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti's side may need to recapture Hazard at his best if they are to see off Liverpool and lift the Champions League trophy in Paris this weekend.

all this injuries is about the number 7 Jersey, Real Madrid management should please change the Jersey for him, and see if he will in prove himself or not. Rolando Jersey is not easy to be used

One more chance then if he doesn’t work out get Sterling or Son. I know many people would disagree but just saying, can’t judge the future without it happening 🤷🏼♂️
Son yes, Sterling no.

Eden Hazard is the player I really like when he was at Chelsea even though he make fun of Cristiano in Media once. because I understand, who love Messi or Cristiano is personal, no one can give final verdict and I respect his takes on that. But what happened to him ? why cannot he take care of himself? why not look up to Cristiano and Messi, they take good care of themselves and keep performing , less injury. Hazard we wanted the Hazard of 2016-17. Please be blessed and stay healthy.

It's one of my best wishes for Real Madrid that you will replicate your fitness level at Chelsea, which will be directly proportional to your excellent displays for us. I am a clear fan of you, and nothing changes that. Like Falcao and Mbappe, you were one of the players I really dreamed about for Real to sign. I hope you don't leave without showcasing your talent.
