Eden Hazard presented in front of thousands of Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium,Madrid Spain Thursday June 13,2019


Eden Hazard donned Real Madrid’s all-white kit for the first time on Thursday as the Belgium forward was presented to tens of thousands of fans at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium following his club record transfer from Chelsea.



“I have dreamt of this moment since I was very young, since I was playing in my family’s garden,” Hazard said after passing a medical exam and signing a five-year contract with club president Florentino Perez. “I became a Real Madrid supporter then. Later I went to France and England, but to arrive here now and wear this shirt is an honor. I can’t wait for the season to begin.”


“Everyone knows that Zidane was my idol when I was very young and the fact that he is Madrid’s manager was an important factor,” he said.

After changing his gray suit and tie for Madrid’s shirt and shorts, Hazard kicked several balls to spectators packing the stands.

Madrid announced last week that it had acquired the 28-year-old playmaker from Chelsea for a reported fee of around 100 million euros ($113 million) plus add-ons, making him the club’s most expensive signing ever.

Madrid hopes that Hazard can provide the missing link between midfielder Luka Modric and striker Karim Benzema to produce the goals that dried up following the exit of Ronaldo.
