Erling Haaland responds to £150m Chelsea transfer speculations.
Erling Haaland states he ‘hopes’ Chelsea are not intending a £150 million bid to sign him this summer.
Chelsea have made the Borussia Dortmund striker one of their top priorities for the summer window with Thomas Tuchel keen for the club to obtain a new forward.
It’s also noted that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is individually driving the club’s drive to bring Haaland to Stamford Bridge.
However, any deal for Haaland is expected to cost Chelsea at least £150m this summer, while Dortmund are fixed that the 21-year-old will remain with them for at least another term.
When questioned about his with a move to Chelsea at Dortmund’s training camp in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, Haaland told reporters:
“I haven’t spoken with my agent in a month. You might have the answer.
“I am a normal person. That’s a lot of money for one person. I hope there is nothing in it.”
Speaking earlier this month, Dortmund’s head of first-team football, Sebastian Kehl, emphasized the stance that Haaland would not be sold this summer.
“I have also read about the sum, but for us nothing has changed on this matter,” Kehl said.
“We are planning firmly with Erling, this has also been clearly communicated to him and his advisor.
“He wants to play football, he feels comfortable with us and is hungry to score many goals for us this season.”
Haaland, who turned 21 last week, has a release clause between €75m (£64m) and €100m (£85m) in his current contract with Dortmund which can be activated in the summer of 2022.
