Eden Hazard is not part of Real Madrid's plans anymore. Since his performance in Glasgow (goal and assist), a start against Mallorca, another against Shakhtar Donetsk and 10 minutes in Leipzig, nothing more has come.

He has been on the bench for so many games. First it was Rodrygo Goes who stepped above him, and now it is Marco Asensio who has left him out of the game. Even Mariano Diaz is ahead in times of need, which is striking. The former Chelsea player already knows that the exit door is wide open.

There is absolutely no belief in his abilities. They feel that the best for him is to look for a way out in order to find what he has requested, which is more playing time to demonstrate himself once more.

The player is clear that he does not intend to move. The club knows it and will not force his exit, but he's not going to play. It will be up to Hazard, as it was with Gareth Bale and Isco. He has put his kids in the academy at the club, though Los Blancos believe a good World Cup might see him rediscover his competitive spirit and lead to him wanting to play elsewhere and enjoy his football again.

His value peaked at 150 million euros just weeks before he left Chelsea, but now, according to Transfermarkt, his price does not exceed 12 million euros.

Eden has eighteen months left on his contract. The messages from the club and from Ancelotti are resounding. They can say it louder, but not any clearer.
