After a stupendous performance by Edin Hazard against
Everton on the weekend, the Blues are now looking to make
an approach for the younger sibling, Thorgan Hazard as
well. Reports in the British ( Express) and German media
(German Journalist Philip Harmeling) have now revealed
that Chelsea coach, Antonio Conte has identified the
younger Hazard as the top target this January window.
Thorgan, an earlier Chelsea player was loaned out to
Borussia Monchengladbach in 2014. And the 23-year old's
impressive form persuaded the German club to make the
deal permanent in February 2015.
However, it has now been revealed that in order for
Chelsea to persuade the youngster to rejoin the club, they
will have to fork out a fee ranging around £16-£18million.
The news of this was made public by a series of tweet by
German Journalist Philip Harmeling, stating, "Chelsea has
approached #BMG for Hazard and his buy-out clause. The
price is fixed around €18-20M (£16-£18m) but none of BMG
and Hazard are interested. Chelsea has made Hazard a
priority for the next transfer window in January but looks
like they have a lot to do to convince Hazard to leave."
Nevertheless, one wonders whether the club would be
willing to fork out such a sum for a former player.
Thorgan's impressive form has already caught the attention
of other top tier clubs across Europe and it will be
interesting to see whether this deal develops in the recent
future.
