Eden Hazard turns down Inter Miami offer

Belgian football star Eden Hazard has recently made headlines as he declined an enticing offer from Major League Soccer club Inter Miami, which is owned by the legendary football icon David Beckham. The news, reported by Voetbalkrant, came as a surprise to many, considering the star-studded roster Miami has already assembled, boasting the likes of Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets.

Miami's management was determined to lure Hazard, the former Chelsea and Real Madrid attacker, to join their ambitious project in the United States. However, the Belgian player has firmly set his sights on staying in Europe, where he believes he can continue to flourish on the pitch. Being a free agent, Hazard has the liberty to explore various possibilities for his next career move, but recent speculation about a potential return to Belgium with Anderlecht has been promptly squashed, putting an end to the hopes of a sentimental homecoming for the player.

Looking back at Hazard's illustrious professional career, it all began in France, where he rose to prominence as one of the most promising young talents while playing for Lille. During his time there, he showcased his incredible skills and footballing prowess, tallying an impressive record of 50 goals and 53 assists in 194 games, capturing the attention of top clubs across Europe.

With consistent outstanding performances, Hazard left an indelible mark at Stamford Bridge, amassing a remarkable 110 goals and 92 assists in over 300 appearances, earning a place among Chelsea's all-time greats.

However, football journeys are often filled with twists and turns, and Hazard's path took an unexpected turn when he decided to embark on a new adventure with Real Madrid in 2019.
