Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard is set for a shock move to join his former international teammate, Vincent Kompany, at newly-promoted Premier League side Burnley.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes,
Kompany, who is currently the manager of Burnley, is keen on Hazard joining the
club.
The Manchester City legend feels Hazard still
possesses quality in the twilight of his career.
The report added that Burnley would use
Kompany’s prior connection with Hazard in the national team to make their
interest known.
Hazard has become surplus to requirements at
Real Madrid. He has fallen out of favour with Real Madrid manager Carlo
Ancelotti at Santiago Bernabeu.
The 31-year-old has started just three of
nine games across competitions for Los Blancos, scoring one goal and providing
two assists.
Hazard’s contract with Real Madrid will
expire in 2024, so he could be available on the cheap in the summer as
Transfermarkt values the Belgian at as little as €5m.
