Real Madrid midfielder, Toni Kroos has taken a swipe at his former team-mate Eden Hazard, claiming that the Belgian who earned £400,000-per-week at the LaLiga club “let his career die” at the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos signed Hazard for £88 million from Chelsea in 2019.
However, his four-year spell in Spain ended last week, after 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.
Kroos, who has racked up three LaLiga titles and four Champions League trophies during his nine-year spell at Real Madrid, appeared to reference the Belgian flop while firing a warning to Jude Bellingham after his stunning six-year move to the Bernabeu was confirmed on Wednesday.
“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 only seven goals in 76 appearances for Real Madrid.
