Crystal Palace reportedly made an approach to sign former Chelsea and Real Madrid man Eden Hazard this summer.

Hazard was one of the best players in the world for many years, with a remarkable career that included two Premier League titles during a seven-year stint at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard then moved to Real Madrid in 2019, where a combination of injuries and confidence concerns appear to have severely harmed his career, and it’s now unclear whether he’ll ever play again, according to Jones.
The 32-year-old undoubtedly has the ability to compete at a reasonable level, but perhaps he wants to go on a higher note rather than struggling with his fitness for another year or two at a smaller club.
Jones commented on Palace’s interest and Hazard’s future, saying, “It would not surprise me if Hazard does now retire from football.”
There have been some strong offers for him, including one from Crystal Palace to play again in the Premier League, but the motivation to make a comeback does not appear to be there. “It’s been a long time since he was playing, he would have to work extremely hard to get back to top condition – meaning actually playing top level games could take a while.”
