Departing Chelsea chief Frank Arnesen hopes to take him with to Hamburg several Blues prospects.
Arnesen is taking charge of transfer policy at Hamburg next month and is keen on Holland defender Jeffrey Bruma.
The Bundesliga side want Bruma permanently but talkSPORT says Chelsea are unwilling to let one of their promising stars leave, though they could be open to a loan deal in order to get Bruma more first team experience.
Fullback Patrick van Aanholt and striker Gael Kakuta could also come into the reckoning for Hamburg.
