Leicester Receive Boost in Hazard Pursuit as Gladbach Director Hints at Reinvesting €30m Fee

Borussia Monchengladbach could be willing to part ways with former Chelsea midfielder Thorgan Hazard this summer in order to free up funds to reinvest in their playing squad - and heavy interest is believed to be held in the Belgian.

Leicester City are the team most commonly linked with a move for the 24-year-old, and Claude Puel has been reported to be looking at using Hazard as a replacement for unsettled winger Riyad Mahrez.

And despite the younger brother of Eden Hazard still having two years on his contract in Germany, reason to believe the club would be willing to sell has heightened following quotes made by sporting director Max Eberl:

“If we make €30m on a transfer, we can spend that money on one or two players,” he told RB Online (via Inside Futbol).
