Hazard was expected to become a mainstay at the Bernabeu but he has ultimately missed 72 games in three-and-a-half seasons.
Despite his absence, Hazard has picked up two LaLiga titles and a Champions League.
However, a return to England could be on the cards, according to El Nacional, who say Real have finally lost faith in Hazard.
The report claims Hazard has told Real and Belgium team-mate Thibaut Courtois that he will be departing this winter.
Newcastle and Villa are reported to be likely escape routes and the two-time Prem winner would likely cost just £17m.
Hazard could boost the Magpies' top-four chances.
Eddie Howe's side have made a blistering start to the season and are sitting third in the Prem after 14 games played.
Villa, meanwhile, are down in 13th but now have a Champions League standard manager in Unai Emery at the reigns.
