Thorgan Hazard, deemed to be another one of Chelsea's season-to-season loanees, could make a fashionable return to Stamford Bridge next season according to Jose Mourinho.
Nonetheless, with Chelsea leading the Barclays Premier League table, the rumours of next season's probabilities have begun. Mönchengladbach had confirmed nearly a month ago their interest in a permanent transfer for the young Belgian, who has impressed both Mourinho and his loaned club with his performances.
Jose Mourinho's comments unveiled these rumours at a press conference on Friday.
“He’s one of the few players I travel to see play live and we like him very much.
"But there is here one player in front of him who is not bad, a guy called Hazard like him, but Eden.
"The best decision was for him to go to Borussia and also Bundesliga is a good championship for him to play in and we’ll see what happens. They (Eden and Thorgan Hazard) can play in the same squad and even be in same team, one in one side and the other in the other. We have Eden, Schurrle, Oscar and Willian. We have a lot so for him it is better for him to play there.
“Is he coming back or staying at Borussia? Do we want to buy or sell? Do we want money to make financial operations? This is something we have to take step by step.
"He is one of those players we have on loan that has enough potential to play for Chelsea one day.”
