Hazard's Real Madrid contract was set to expire next summer, but both parties agreed to extend his stay in order for the Belgian to pursue other chances. According to Marca, he is deciding between the MLS and retirement for his next endeavour.The Vancouver Whitecaps are rumored to be interested in acquiring Hazard, and if he does transfer to the US, he might square off against Lionel Messi, who is scheduled to join Inter Miami after deciding not to re-join Barcelona.
Hazard's playing career could finish with a whimper, which would be quite upsetting. His time at Real Madrid was a complete disaster, but he now has the opportunity to restart his career.Messi, who last played for Paris Saint-Germain against Clermont Foot on Sunday, had been linked with a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.
Argentina's World Cup winner had been linked with a return to Barcelona, but he has now agreed to join Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami.
However, Messi claims that he chose not to transfer to Saudi Arabia because he had already decided to go somewhere [Inter Miami], not because of money.If it had come down to money, I would have gone to Arabia or somewhere else. Messi told Mundo Deportivo, "It seemed like a lot of money to me."
"The truth is that my final decision is not motivated by money."

According to The Times, INEOS and Ratcliffe 'have emerged as the clear favourites to strike a deal' and have 'reached the last phases of negotiations with Raine, the New York bank handling the sale'.
According to reports, Sheikh Jassim's fifth bid was "sent directly to the Glazers and Raine" and "points to him sensing he may have lost to Ratcliffe." The Qataris are reportedly planning to 'withdraw from the process' if their fresh bid is not accepted by Friday's deadline.
'Ratcliffe appeared to have pulled off a masterstroke when his offer allowed two of the Glazer brothers, United co-chairmen Joel and Avram, to keep a stake.' However, it is feared that "all six Glazer siblings may want to retain a shareholding as well."
