Hazard, 32, is currently a free agent after seeing his contract at the Los Blancos ripped up at the end of the last season.

Inter Miami have already added Messi to their roster this summer after his contract expired at PSG as well as his former Barcelona team-mate Sergio Busquets.

The club have also been linked with Jordi Alba and Andrés Iniesta, but according to Relevo, the main focus is on Hazard.

However, Hazard has yet to decide on his future in football.

The report suggests that Hazard is considering staying in Spain and hanging up his boots.

It he was to join David Beckham‘s franchise, he would take up one of the three Designated Player spots.

This means he would be one of three players who could be paid more than the league’s salary cap.

With Messi set to take one of the spots, then one of Joseph Martínez and Rodolfo Pizarro would have to agree to a pay cut or leave the club.

Hazard spent seven seasons at Chelsea, becoming a club icon and fan favourite with 110 goals in 352 games.

He landed two Premier League titles, two Europa Leagues and an FA Cup during his time in London.

But Hazard decided to leave in 2018 for Real as he felt he had a better chance of winning the Champions League with them.

The Belgian finally got his hands on the trophy in 2022, yet he would have won it a year earlier if he had stayed at Stamford Bridge.

Before Chelsea, Hazard led Lille to Ligue 1 glory in 2011.

He also won 126 caps for Belgium before retiring after their group stage exit at the Qatar World Cup.
