Toni Kroos takes aim at £400,000-per-week Real Madrid flop Eden Hazard for 'coming for a lot of money and letting his career DIE' as midfielder fires warning at £113m Jude Bellingham for his big move

Toni Kroos took a brutal swipe at his former Real Madrid team-mate Eden Hazard on Wednesday, claiming that the £400,000-per-week star 'let his career die' at the Bernabeu.

The LaLiga giants, who signed Hazard for £88m from Chelsea in 2019, called an end to the Belgian's woeful four-year spell in Madrid and opted to rip up his contract early last week.

After failing to make an impact in the Spanish capital Hazard is now reportedly considering retirement at 32, having already called time on his international career in the wake of Belgium's miserable 2022 World Cup campaign.
