Chelsea fans have some surprise on their faces here in the Football Transfer Tavern as our landlord shows them this claim from Metro who are under the impression Thorgan Hazard wants to return to the Blues.
Now as one of our punters notes over a beer and burger midweek fixture special, signing a permanent deal with Borussia Monchengladbach was probably a bad idea if that is his ultimate dream – but in the era of buyback clauses, anything is possible.
Eden Hazard’s brother was speaking about where he sees his career in the future and noted: ‘I focus on excelling at Borussia, but I still hope to play for Chelsea one day.
‘It is true that Chelsea has a buy-back option. I’m glad, because I hope to still play for Chelsea.’
Our landlord reminds us that Chelsea have no problem buying their former players back – with Nemanja Matic case in point and someone who can certainly offer hope to Hazard – who will always have a free ticket to Stamford Bridge at the very least courtesy of his brother!
