As twists of fate go, it could be a big one. Chelsea will move on and set their defenders for next season, and Gladbach are looking to sign the player permanently.
Gladbach’s Eberl has told Germany’s Kicker: “The Chelsea contact is very, very close. There is definitely a chance. How high the price will be, is something which will now need to be discussed.”
Christensen himself spoke to this week’s edition of Kicker’s magazine and told them: “I don’t see that I necessarily need to go to England to move forward in my career.”
However, the youngster also talked about what a help John Terry has been to his career, and explained he still speaks to the Chelsea, even though he’s on loan at Gladbach.
