Thursday 8th July, 2021: The Champions League holder, Chelsea, has prepared a bid of £150 million for Dortmund striker, Erling Haaland. This follows the club’s interest in securing his signature, this summer.

The Blues believes Dortmund will be unable to refuse such a high bid, as Haaland and Paris Saint German, PSG attacker, Kylan Mbappe, are considered the best young forwards potentially available on the transfer market. And after Manchester United has locked down Jadon Sancho, the stakes will be even higher for the Blues to buy one of them to improve their attack.
