With his contract terminated, Hazard now faces the decision of embarking on a new chapter in his career or considering retirement from professional football. This development allows Real Madrid to save a portion of the significant salary they would have paid to Hazard for the remaining year of his contract.

In addition to Hazard, Real Madrid has also terminated the contract of Mariano Diaz. In an official statement on the club's website, Real Madrid expressed gratitude and affection for Mariano, highlighting his journey from the youth academy (2011-2016) to the first team, where he spent six seasons and won an impressive tally of 13 titles. The statement concluded by wishing Mariano and his family the best of luck in their future endeavours.
