Chelsea transfer rumours: Andreas Christensen, Eden Hazard
Wednesday 30 January 2019 09:33, UK
Wednesday's Chelsea transfer news, including the latest on Eden Hazard and Andreas Christensen.
Chelsea want a £6m loan fee for Christensen to leave this week, with Borussia Dortmund and Juventus keen.
The 22-year-old has failed to hold down a regular spot under Maurizio Sarri, who was angered by the player's decision to leave the bench for a toilet break as Chelsea lost to Arsenal earlier this month.
Chelsea manager Sarri has said Hazard is free to leave the club if he wants to but the Italian hopes the forward stays at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard has been linked with a move to Spanish side Real Madrid in recent months and the Belgium international had said in October last year that it was his dream to play for the reigning European champions.
Chelsea are looking to renew his contract, which expires next season, and the west London side risk losing him for free in the close season in 2020 if he does not extend his current deal.
"Eden is 28. If he wants to go, I think he has to go," Sarri told reporters ahead of Wednesday's Premier League clash at Bournemouth.
"Of course, I hope the opposite, I hope he wants to stay here. He has the potential to be the best player in Europe at the moment."
