, Crystal Palace are eager to bring the Belgium legend back to the English top flight.
The 32-year-old is currently a free agent following his exit from Real Madrid, and with it believed that he is considering quitting football altogether after being plagued by injuries while in Spain, the Eagles are said to be convinced that he still has something to offer. It is claimed that Palace chairman Steve Parish sees tremendous value in bringing the diminutive attacker to Selhurst Park, not just in a sporting sense but also from a commercial point of view. His manager Roy Hodgson is also believed to be keen on the La Louviere native's acquisition.
Given the attacker's recent injury struggles, the same report claims that Hazard will be offered a simple pay-as-you-play, one-year deal that will be largely incentivised by the appearances he makes and the performances he produces. The London side has spent only €20 million on new signings so far this transfer window, on the acquisition of Brazilian teenager Matheus Franca from Flamengo, so it is believed the funds are there to facilitate Hazard's signing.
