Is Hazard overweight? Winger criticised for lack of fitness 

Once touted a Galactico signing, Hazard has nowhere been near his best for the defending LaLiga champions. He once racked up controversy on arriving for the first time to train with the club. He appeared to be overweight, questioning his dedication towards the Madrid based club. 

 And Turkish League outfit Fenerbahce are keen on providing an escape route to the Belgium international's misery at the Bernabeu. The club are pondering upon the idea of signing Hazard on a loan deal after an unimpressive stint with Los Blancos.

The club are keen on clinching the league title, having last won it seven years ago and are thus attempting to rope in some megastars.

And Hazard was reportedly keen on playing for Fenerbahce, according to former club president Hasan Cetinkaya. "Hazard is an old friend and friend of mine. I've known since the age of 15-16. At that time he was playing in Lille, he told Ajansspor in 2019. He had great sympathy for Fenerbahçe. He has a word for me too. He said, 'Hasan, I will play in Fenerbahçe one day. We don't know when it will happen."
