Real Madrid are reportedly open to sending Eden Hazard out on loan during the summer transfer window.
Having made just eight starts and 13 substitute outings this campaign, the 31-year-old will miss his club's remaining matches of 2021-22 after undergoing surgery to remove a metal plate in his leg.
With Los Blancos being heavily linked with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Braut Haaland, Hazard's long-term future at the Santiago Bernabeu is very much in doubt.
According to AS, Real are willing to part ways with the Belgium international on a temporary basis so that he can build up his fitness ahead of the World Cup.
Given his current period on the sidelines and potential new arrivals, Hazard will struggle to secure enough game time at Real on his return to action.
Earlier this year, Hazard was linked with a temporary switch to Newcastle United, although the Magpies may end their interest to prioritise other players ahead of the next transfer window.
