Eden Hazard has a dearth of offers from clubs
The 32-year-old was one of the fierce goal poachers during his time in the Premier League and was expected to exceed expectations in La Liga. But persistent injury issues foiled his chances of making it big in the Spanish top flight. There haven't been any significant offers from any clubs as only Belgian club KVC Westerlo have reportedly placed offer on the table for the player.
Hazard reportedly rejected an offer from Inter Miami and following the arrival of Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets it would be a very difficult for the attacker to find a place in the Florida based MLS outfit.
Hazard has also reportedly been the subject of interest from Canadian club Vancouver Whitecaps who plies their trade in the MLS. Clubs from Saudi Pro League are also contemplating offers for the player while a potential move to Brazilian club Botofogo hasn’t been ruled out.

After leaving Madrid, Hazard didn't really clear out his mind but the player insisted he has still football left in him. He said to RTBFL "I know I won't answer you as you want me to, but I haven't made up my mind yet.
"I'm still capable of being a professional footballer. I have level and I've been resting for two or three years. I still have energy. After these three difficult years I want to spend time with my family and go on holiday."
As all the leading European leagues are gearing up for their kickoff Hazard needs to accelerate his decision.
