“I was able to realise my dream, I have played and had fun on many pitches around the world. During my career I was lucky to meet great managers, coaches and teammates – thank you to everyone for these great times, I will miss you all.
“I also want to thank the clubs I have played for: LOSC, Chelsea and Real Madrid; and thank the RBFA for my Belgian Selection. A special thank you to my family, my friends, my advisors and the people who have been close to me in good times and bad.
“Finally, a huge thank you to you, my fans, who have followed me for all these years and for your encouragement everywhere I have played. Now is the time to enjoy my loved ones and have new experiences.
“See you off the field soon my friends.”
Just weeks after winning the Champions League, Hazard announced he’s joining Chelsea in a post on X (Twitter). He made his debut for the club in the 3-2 defeat to Manchester City in the 202 FA Community Shield.
In the Premier League, Hazard established himself as one of the best players and would go on to make 352 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 110 goals. He was voted Premier League Player of the Season in the 2014–15 season.
