Eden Hazard had witnessed his contract termination from Real Madrid by mutual consent. However, the player still had 12 months left in his contract after spending 4 seasons in Spain and winning titles. Hazard only registered 7 goals and 9 assists in 76 matches for Real Madrid. However, Los Blancos are moving in a different direction of rebuilding their squad after many players like Karim Benzema and Marco are leaving at the end of the season. The Belgian, who was prepared to quit with nothing after falling short of the Liga giants' expectations, has now agreed to a compensation deal.

According to the reports, Eden Hazard is now looking for his next destination also considering the possibility of retirement after his graph just went down since he left Chelsea.  However, he will have the opportunity to play.  The Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer are rumoured to have a proposition on the table that might bring the gifted winger to Canada.
