Former Real Madrid star rejects opportunity to team up with Lionel Messi but looking for other option in MLS

Former Real Madrid and Chelsea star Eden Hazard could make a shock entry into MLS before the transfer window ends. The Belgian star is currently a free agent and recently was linked with a move to Lionel Messi's current side Inter Miami.

Hazard however reportedly declined the chance to team up with the former Barcelona star. But it is understood that he is open to joining another MLS club and is considering offers. The 32-year-old winger is currently a free agent after leaving Real Madrid this summer.

Hazard is said to be considering three destinations for his next and possibly last notable challenge of his career. He reportedly has offers from Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and MLS.

As per the latest rumours, he is now leaning towards a move to the United States rather than the other two destinations. The Vancouver Whitecaps from Canada are reportedly interested in bringing the struggling winger over to the North American side.

Vancouver currently sits in 7th place in the league's Western Conference with 31 points. Hazard who left Chelsea back in 2019 for Real Madrid for a record fee experienced a torrid time in Spanish Capital, with injuries and poor form hampering his time at the Bernabeu.

However, the move to MLS now can hand him another shot at enjoying his forgotten career. However, if he looks to join the Canadian club he needs to agree to a deal before September 2, which is the roster freeze deadline.

MLS is currently catching the headlines frequently due to the star-studded arrival of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami. He has also been joined by two former Barcelona teammates in Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. The trio have all hit the ground running from the beginning as they are yet to lose a single game.
