Real Madrid midfielder, Toni Kroos has taken a swipe at former team-mate Eden Hazard.
The Belgian arrived the club for a huge transfer fee, and pocketed £400,000-per-week at the club, but failed to impress.
According to Kroos, Hazard “let his career die” at the Bernabeu, after joining Real Madrid for £88 million from Chelsea in 2019.
Kroos made this statement in reaction to Jude Bellingham’s €103m transfer to Real Madrid.
“We had another player who came for a lot of money and basically let his career die,” Kroos said on his podcast Einfach mal Luppen.
“It was a lot of money, I think everyone would say that wasn’t a good transfer. But let’s be positive.”
Hazard scored seven goals during his four-year spell at the club which ended last week, after Real Madrid terminated his contract.
Hazard is now reportedly considering retirement at 32, having already called time on his international career after Belgium’s 2022 World Cup campaign.
