Hazard makes honest admission over his relationship with Carlo Ancelotti.
Eden Hazard has admitted that his relationship with Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has completely broken down, saying, “We don’t talk to each other.”
The Belgian attacker has endured a trying four years at Santiago Bernabeu due to physical and form issues, with nothing to show for the €100 million (£88 million/$107 million) investment that brought him from Chelsea in 2019.
Despite being available since the World Cup break, Hazard has not played a single minute in La Liga or the Champions League, and he admits that he no longer interacts with a manager who seems to have given up on him.

Hazard has told RTBF of his issues in the Spanish capital: “There’s respect between Ancelotti and I. But, I’m not going to say we talk to each other, because we don’t. But there will always be respect. I have to have respect a guy like Ancelotti. For what he represents for football, and for what he’s done in his career.”
Hazard is approaching the final 12 months of his contract in Madrid and, despite seeing a summer move elsewhere speculated on, says he would like to see that deal out.
The 32-year-old added: “I would like to stay. I’ve always said that. I hope to play and to show that I can still do it. People have doubts, that’s normal, I understand. But for me, I’m still here next year. You never know, but a transfer is not in my plan.”
Hazard’s choice about his future will probably be made for him since Real may opt to break up relations with a player who has been strongly linked with a move to the Major League Soccer after making just seven appearances this season, with just three of those coming in La Liga.
