In a recent interview mentioned by Goal.com, Borussia Monchengladbach sporting director, Max Eberl has revealed that Thorgan Hazard will seek a new club at the end of this campaign. The Belgian winger, who is the brother of Eden Hazard, has been linked with Liverpool in the recent past so this latest development could be a positive bit of news for the Reds.
Speaking to Goal.com, Eberl said, “We made our intentions to extend Thorgan’s contract clear a while back now, but he hasn’t reciprocated that interest.
“He has now told us that he doesn’t want to extend his contract and instead wants to take the next step in his career by leaving the club.
“However, he still has a contract with us until 2020 and there is no release clause.
“Interested parties have to offer us a transfer fee that recognises his worth as an exceptional Bundesliga forward and a regular in one of the best national teams in the world.
“If it ends up being the case that Thorgan leaves us, then we will do what we’ve done well in the last few years – we will take the money we make from the transfer and use it to buy more exciting players for our team.”
Monchengladbach’s sporting director has confirmed that Hazard has no intention of penning a new deal with the Bundesliga outfit and so, he could be sold in the summer as long as the right offer comes in for the player. Jurgen Klopp should pounce on this opportunity if he is serious about recruiting the Belgian talent as he will be available for a transfer during the summer transfer window.
Hazard’s Success In The Bundesliga This Season
The 26-year-old has enjoyed another productive campaign in the German top-flight after putting in some glorious displays at Borussia-Park during this season. He has made 29 appearances for the German team this term, scoring 12 goals while creating 11 assists in all competitions.
What Does The Belgian Winger Offer On The Pitch?
Hazard has decent pace under his belt and can dribble with the ball without losing possession in the opposition half. He also links up play well with his teammates in and around the opposing penalty area and has added more goals and assists to his game this season.
The Belgian sensation has all the makings to be a success in the Premier League if he decides to come to England this summer. However, the jury is still out on whether Hazard will be able to handle the physical toll of English top-flight football.
Hazard’s Availability: Big Boost For Liverpool?
The Bundesliga midfielder’s availability will undoubtedly be a massive boost for Klopp as the Belgian talent could turn out to be an ideal squad option for his team in the upcoming campaign.
