The Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is annoyed with his team, as the French wants Real Madrid to return to the top places of the European football, so for that reason he would have begun to meet with the players who will continue in the project and those who are in doubt, he also transmits them his main ideas. However, the surprise was the recommendation made to one of the players who were thought to be favorites, so that recommendation became a talk with a taste of ultimatum.

According to local information, Zidane recently met with Eden Hazard, who was a direct request from the French, as it was expected that the Belgian would be the replacement of Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the team in order to go with Juventus. In fact, it is said that the player who wears the Real Madrid shirt with the number 7, would have more responsibilities than normal. However, the months have passed, and Hazard has not responded as expected.

So, Zidane was very explicit with the Belgian, he asked him for greater commitment and maximum involvement with the team, otherwise, Florentino Perez would sell him in the winter market and thus continue with the team reinforcement. The low participation of the Belgian attacker due to his physical problems, has caused great concern in the coaching staff, as the player cost 115 million euros upon his arrival and his currently price is around 50 million. 

So the Real Madrid board is at the limit of making the decision to sell him before the player continues to devalue. Apparently, Zidane would already have Hazard's replacement, however they will wait to see how the Belgian player ends up doing in the remainder 2020-202 season. If the result is not positive, the one chosen to take his place would be Sadio Mané, the Liverpool player who had already been previously ruled out by Zidane but was discarded, but now he takes strength again after the poor performance of Hazard.
