Chelsea have reportedly been left disappointed after Borussia Monchengladbach informed the west Londoners they have no buy-back clause in Thorgan Hazard's contract. Meanwhile, it's been revealed David Luiz was the main instigator behind his Chelsea return.
Reports emerged this week claiming the Blues had a buy-back option to bring Hazard, younger brother of Chelsea winger Eden, back to Stamford Bridge. However, Monchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl informed German daily Express otherwise (h/t Metro's Chris Davie):
There is no clause. There is also no deadline for anything.
