The club bid farewell to these players while maintaining a core group of stars such as Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, and Toni Kroos, who continue to play integral roles within the team.
As the news of Hazard and Asensio's departures reverberates throughout the football community, it marks the end of a chapter in their careers and signals a new phase for both players. While Hazard's time at Real Madrid was marred by injury setbacks and limited opportunities, Asensio's contributions as a reliable substitute will be remembered by fans.
The departure of Hazard and Asensio will undoubtedly have an impact on Real Madrid's future plans and squad dynamics. As the club navigates the transfer market and explores potential replacements, fans eagerly await news of new signings and the strategies employed to strengthen the team.
The legacy of Hazard and Asensio at Real Madrid will be remembered with a mix of appreciation for their talents and disappointment at the missed opportunities.
