Union Saint-Gilloise is reportedly in talks with former Belgium captain Eden Hazard regarding a potential playing return.

Hazard is currently a free agent after terminating his contract with Real Madrid a year early.

While he hasn’t officially announced his retirement, he has resisted offers from clubs in the Middle East and the United States.

Recent reports suggest that Union Saint-Gilloise has reached out to Hazard about the possibility of resuming his football career in Belgium.

Hazard has playfully commented on these rumors, stating, “Frankly, for fun, it would be good. I’m coming the first week to face Anderlecht and the second against RWDM…!”

This indicates that he might be open to the idea of playing again in his home country.

Real Madrid‘s combined squad salary bill is currently €485 million, while La Liga’s wage limit for the club will be €727 million for the next season, according to COPE.

This surplus in the wage limit provides Real Madrid with the opportunity to spend significantly in the upcoming summer transfer window without the need to sell players.

The €242 million difference between the limit and the actual wage spending opens up possibilities for big signings, including players like Alphonso Davies and Kylian Mbappe.

While this surplus doesn’t guarantee that Real Madrid won’t sell any players or that specific targets like Davies and Mbappe will be signed, it does give the club financial flexibility to pursue top talent in the transfer market.

Ultimately, the decision on signings will depend on the club’s priorities and needs for the next season.

Manchester United is reportedly showing interest in Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The club’s manager, Erik ten Hag, is said to be a big admirer of the 22-year-old winger, according to The Mail.

Kvaratskhelia had a strong season last year, scoring 12 goals and providing 13 assists as Napoli won the Scudetto.

While United is interested in signing him in January, Napoli is expected to demand a significant transfer fee for Kvaratskhelia.
