GettyThe David Beckham-owned Major League Soccer franchise announced on Sunday they had acquired an additional international roster spot for their squad in exchange for £116,000.
European football icons including Luis Suarez, Sergio Ramos and Hazard have all been linked.
However, Hazard is understood to have turned down the offer from the Florida outfit.
According to Voetbalkrant, the 32-year-old has no interest in leaving Europe for the MLS.
Indeed, reports elsewhere have suggested the Belgian is considering his retirement from the beautiful game.
Injuries have plagued him since he swapped Stamford Bridge for the Bernabeu in 2018.
In his seven years at the Blues Hazard scored 110 goals in 352 games to cement himself as a fan favourite and club icon.
However, at Madrid Hazard proved the grass is not always greener.

He arrived for an initial £88million price tag and a £400,000-a-week wage package.
However, Hazard would go on to score just seven goals across 76 appearances for the Whites.
As well as Messi, who scored a stunning 94th-minute winning free-kick on his debut in the Leagues Cup, Inter Miami have recruited ex-Barcelona stars Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Messi’s debut was watched by a number of huge stars, including four-time NBA MVP Lebron James, Tennis hero Serena Williams and reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
The latter has since jetted to Japan to watch Cristiano Ronaldo after son Saint‘s football love was revealed following a surprise appearance at Arsenal earlier this season.
