Due to his lack of activity at Real Madrid, one of the club’s biggest star saw his market value drop €90 million in less than a year.
It’s impressive how a Real Madrid star can waste his professional career and drop his market value so much in a year. This is the case of Eden Hazard, the Belgian player who arrived at the Spanish club from Chelsea in 2019. It’s only been over a year since he came to the club, and his market value already dropped a dramatic €90 million.
According to Transfermarkt, Hazard’s value when he arrived was €150 million. This was the time when Eden was even being considered as one of the best players in the world. He was fresh out of winning the UEFA Europa League with Chelsea. Stellar performances in this competition and the Premier League alike were enough arguments to have such high market value.
Also, Hazard was arguably one of the three best players during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Only Luka Modric and Kylian Mbappe were considered better than he was. All those were great arguments for Zidane to demand his transfer to Real Madrid. But what happened along the way? Why is his market value so low at the moment?
Hazard’s terrible fortune with injuries.
It would be easy to say bad luck was the only reason Eden Hazard has fallen injured so much during his time at Real Madrid. However, we need to be a little more objective than that. The Belgian star has never been disciplined. It would eventually come back to bite him in the ass. Between his love for junk food and his over the top holidays, Eden is suffering the consequences through injuries.
Although his ankle problem against PSG was pretty concerning, his recovery process was completely up to his habits. That’s exactly why we still haven’t recovered the best Hazard. It’s another reason we might never get to see the Belgian player at his best while he remains at Real Madrid. Los Blancos is a club that lacks patience for players who don’t take this career seriously.
Zidane recently sent him a stern warning about his lack of discipline and gave him an ultimatum. It truly is a shame watching Hazard’s market value drop so dramatically, he truly is one of the most talented footballers in the world.
