Chelsea are second favourites at 8/1 to resign the forward after selling him to Madrid for a staggering £130million despite having just a year left on his contract.
According to reports, Hazard has already turned down the chance to move Newcastle after Madrid accepted a £33.4m offer.
Newcastle are third favourites at 10/1 to bring Hazard to St James' Park in the latter stages of the window.
If Hazard doesn't manage to secure a move from Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti insists he will give him the opportunity to force his way back into the first team.
The Madrid boss said: "Nothing strange has happened [with Hazard and Bale], there’s a lot of competition in the team and the coach has to choose the best players for every game.
“I try to be fair and choose the best. Sometimes, you’re very good and you don’t play. Hazard, physically, has been fit for a month and a half.
“I don't have to give advice to Hazard. He has the character and experience to decide himself and, by the way, the quality that both of them have could help us a lot. I hope the second half of the season is better.
“At the moment, he is still a Real Madrid player. He is training, he is focused on the games, so we have nothing else to think about.”
