Why Hazard will not wear Real Madrid no.10 shirt

Real Madrid will not hand Eden Hazard his trademark No.10 shirt following his dream move to Los Blancos, the UK Sun reports.

This is because the La Liga giants are unwilling to strip off Luka Modric of the number.

However, Hazard will have to make do with Cristiano Ronaldo’s old No.7 shirt at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Currently, Striker Mariano Diaz, who rejoined Real Madrid from Lyon wears the number and following his poor season, he has no issues with giving it up. 

For the majority of his Premier League career, Hazard worn the No.10 shirt for Chelsea, inheriting it from Juan Mata, after the Spaniard made a move to Manchester United in 2014.
