Eden Hazard's barber insists star has rejected multiple offers in X-rated defence

The Belgian is very close with his barber, as many footballers are, to the point where he has leapt to defend him from the many online trolls.

A Star Barbers, which was founded by Ahmed AlsanawI, posted a video of cutting Hazard's hair on Instagram and one troll commented: "No one wants to sign you."

And it sparked fury in the London-based entrepreneur, who hit out with an expletive reply: "That's funny because he's rejected six teams. T***."

A Star Barbers has cut Hazard's hair for years, as well as several other huge names in football, including Paul Pogba, Reece James and Jack Grealish.

But the revelation that the former Chelsea star has turned down six clubs has wowed fans.

Especially considering his torrid time at Real Madrid, where he was released in the summer after his contract was torn up.

Fitness issues ravaged his career at the Bernabeu, where he made just 10 appearances last season and did not complete a 90-minute match once.

Hazard was earning £400,000 a week in Madrid despite his injury woes, costing the club a bomb.

In total, he made 76 appearances for Los Blancos who signed him from Chelsea in 2020 for a fee that has now reached more than £100million with add-ons.

The forward scored just seven goals and provided 12 assists in what has proved to be a hugely disappointing move.

Hazard admitted it was a dream come true when he signed for Real Madrid but it turned out anything but.

Now in search of a new club, there have been suggestions that he could retire at the age of 32.

But one shock destination could be Crystal Palace, who are looking for a new talisman after Wilfried Zaha departed for Galatasaray this summer.

According to Football Transfers, the Eagles are preparing an offer to Hazard, who is known to love London after seven years at Chelsea.

A one-year deal is being prepared by Palace chief Steve Parish while coach Roy Hodgson is onboard with the idea.

While Hazard's stint at Real Madrid did not go to plan, it is impossible not to forget the dazzling skills he put on show at Stamford Bridge.

Still renowned as a legend at Chelsea, he made 352 appearances for the Blues and scored 110 times.

It saw him lift two Premier League titles, two Europa Leagues, one FA Cup and one League Cup, as well as PFA Young Player of the Year in 2014 and PFA Player of the Year in 2015.
