Report: Prolific European star sends transfer message amidst Chelsea interest

Erling Haaland teases potential transfer as Chelsea continue to keep tabs on him

Chelsea have been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland. The Norwegian is one of the best young talents in world football.

A serial scorer, he looks at home at the top level despite his tender age of 21. A prolific scorer at RB Salzburg, he moved to Dortmund in January 2020.

Haaland has since gone on to further improve his game and has racked up amazing numbers. He has so far scored 41 goals and made 10 assists in just 42 games for the German side. (h/t Transfermarkt)

Haaland scored twice and assisted another against Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, further cementing his spot as a player to watch.

According to The Mirror, Haaland refused to rule out a move away and professed to be happy at garnering the attention of multiple top sides.

“It’s always nice when someone wants you.”

Chelsea will however have to contend with competition from Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool for his signature. It is fair to say that there is the potential for a bidding war to take place.

Haaland has a £66.6m release clause in his Dortmund contract. But this does not become active until the end of the 2021-22 season. By waiting that long, we run the risk of another team trumping us to his signature.

Dortmund meanwhile value the player at £100m and could be open to a deal this summer. With a defensive rebuild also needed, it remains to be seen if Chelsea are willing to sanction such a deal for the Norwegian.

Haaland and Kylian Mbappe represent the upcoming superstars of tomorrow. Securing one of them would be a massive coup for Chelsea and would send a message to our rivals that we mean business.
