According to information from Sport Bild, Crystal Palace wishes to give Eden Hazard one last chance to revive his career, but with conditions.
Without a club since his departure from Real Madrid, Eden Hazard could return to the Premier League. The Belgian forward is on Crystal Palace’s radar. According to reports from Football Transfers and Sport Bild, the Eagles want to give the Red Devil a chance to revive his career, as he is looking for a new destination for the 2023-2024 season.
The club’s management believes that the 32-year-old winger still has a lot to offer, both in terms of sports and commercial value. Roy Hodgson has reportedly given the green light for his team to initiate discussions with the former Madrid player for a transfer before the end of the summer transfer window. A one-season contract is being discussed.
However, signing with Crystal Palace won’t happen without conditions. Crystal Palace intends to compensate their prospective recruit based on his performance: a “pay-as-you-play” arrangement. This means that the former Lille striker would receive a low salary at the beginning of his journey with the Premier League team, but would have the opportunity to increase it as he improves his performance over the course of the season. It’s akin to earning based on one’s sweat!
It remains to be seen if Hazard will embrace this opportunity to end his career on a positive note. Hindered by recurring injuries in recent years, which significantly impacted his career, the Belgian seems to be in doubt about the path he should take in his career, whether to continue in the profession or hang up his boots altogether.
