Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has suggested that Eden Hazard is too "big" to play in Ligue 1 for Paris Saint-Germain.
Hazard was recently quoted as saying that it would be "hard to say no" to PSG if they wanted to buy him in the transfer window.
The Belgium international has struggled to recreate last season's form that earned him the PFA Player of the Year award, which has sparked rumours that he could be considering his future at Stamford Bridge.
"Step by step [PSG] have gathered a reputation that they are very serious to be one of the biggest teams in Europe, so this challenge I can understand," Hiddink told reporters.
"But it is a different league, they are now ahead I think 24 points. It is not a bad league, but this team is on top of that. For me, I think big, big, big players always like to be in the biggest league which is the Premier League and La Liga, and also the Bundesliga.
"First [Hazard] must now get fit and show he is a top player and then for Chelsea, which is a top club, he can be of huge value. In the near future, there will be more speculation about who is coming here or who is going but I don't go into that."
The midfielder signed for Chelsea from Lille in 2012.
