Chelsea FC will break wage structure to sign Erling Haaland

The Athletic, as quoted by the Daily Mail, is reporting that Chelsea FC are long-term admirers of the Norway international following his impressive performances in the Bundesliga.

The same article states that Haaland has indicated that he would prefer to remain at Borussia Dortmund for the 2021-22 season rather than complete a switch to the English capital.

According to the same story, Chelsea FC are still working on a potential deal to sign the 20-year-old this summer in spite of Haaland’s current stance.

Haaland’s father Alfe, who played for Leeds and Manchester City during his Premier League career, and the striker’s agent Mino Raiola, have talked to a number of top clubs regarding a potential transfer within the next 12 months, according to the report.

Haaland moved to Dortmund in a £20m deal from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020.
