Now it's getting serious! Dortmund striker Erling Haaland remains the most sought-after footballer this summer. Chelsea want to guide the Norwegian to London.

BVB only agreed on Jadon Sancho's move with Manchester United last week. The “Red Devils” pay 85 million euros for the Englishman. Haaland, the second star kicker, could leave the black and yellow within a few weeks.
Because it is also clear: In the coming summer, Haaland's release clause of 75 million euros will apply for the first time. Dortmund could take in 100 million euros more this summer. Hardly to be rejected in times of the corona pandemic …
