After missing out on Champions League soccer, Eden Hazard could be tempted to leave Chelsea. Here are five teams that would suit him.

Currently, Eden Hazard is focusing on the World Cup. He’s the leader of Belgium’s “Golden Generation,” with so much pressure on his and the team’s shoulders to win the World Cup. But he’ll know once he’s out of Russia, he’ll have to deal with rumors of his future at Chelsea.

Fans should thank former manager Roberto Di Matteo for bringing Hazard in from French club Lille in the summer of 2012. Since that time, he’s been absolutely sensational, making over 200 Premier League appearances and winning two league titles (2014-15, 2016-17), a Carling Cup (2015) and an FA Cup this past May.

With that being said, there are times where a player has decided to move on to another club. At 27, Hazard may feel he’s got one last transfer left to a dream club. With the constant revolving door of managers at Chelsea, it may be time to leave. Here are five clubs he should consider leaving for.

5. Bayern Munich

The unlikeliest of the lot, but one that still feels possible. The most dominant team in their league, Bayern Munich are a juggernaut in German soccer. They’re also a European powerhouse, constantly reaching the semifinals of the Champions League.

Should Bayern go in for a move, it solves two things. Firstly, it keeps Franck Ribery fresh as he’s slowly losing to father time at the age of 35, and won’t play every week. Secondly, it’s an immediate upgrade at left-wing seeing though we’re all waiting for Kingsley Coman to explode at some point.

Taking on a new challenge like this would be a step forward and backwards. Seeing as though Hazard as already proven himself in England, he can surely succeed in Germany. However, is it really a challenge if no other team challenges you for the league title every year? No worries, as previously mentioned this is the unlikeliest possibility. The fee would probably be too much for Bayern anyway.
