Eden Hazard to leave Real Madrid in January?

Former Chelsea star Eden Hazard has been tipped to leave Real Madrid when the transfer window reopens this winter.

The Belgian has entered his fourth season with the European champions, but he has yet to become a regular starter for them.

Injuries hampered his early Madrid career and he is currently struggling to win the confidence of manager Carlo Ancelotti.

According to Todofichajes, Los Blancos' hierarchy are prepared to part ways with the Belgian at the beginning of the year.

They would like to offload the attacker permanently, but would also welcome a loan proposal during the winter transfer window.

There are no suitors for Hazard at the moment, but it was reported over the summer that Newcastle United could be interested in him.

The Magpies are currently flying high in the Premier League in the fourth spot and Hazard could be tempted to join them in January.

Hazard has played just 98 minutes of La Liga football this campaign.
