Hazard mocks Real Madrid over retirement claims: I rested for 2-3 years!

Eden Hazard has rubbished claims of retirement and taken a swipe at Real Madrid as he leaves the Spanish giants.

Hazard has agreed to cut short his Real contract a year early, sparking talk of him hanging up the boots.

But the former Chelsea captain told RTBF: : "Honestly, I still don't know what I'll do.

"After three difficult years i just want to spend time with my family, go on holiday like everyone does. I read a lot about myself these days, a lot of stupid stuff.

"Going to RWDM with my brother? I don't know if it's a stupid thing, we will see...

"Honestly, I still don't have the answers.

"That said, I'm still able to be a professional footballer, my physique can do it. I rested for two-three years, I still have energy."
