Transfer Deal: Chelsea to sign Borussia Dortmund prolific goal scorer

Chelsea are apparently ready to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland.

In spite of a new injury, the Norway forward’s productive start to life at the Westfalenstadion has proceeded into the 2020-21 season, with the youngster boosting 17 goals in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund this term.

Manchester City have been firmly connected with a swoop for Erling Haaland as Sergio Aguero runs down the last couple of months of his contact, yet the Citizens are required to face stiff competition for Haaland’s signature.

Erling Haaland’s dad – ex-Manchester City defender Alf Inge Haaland – has recently demanded that his child is glad at Borussia Dortmund, however ivisionsport reports that Chelsea are certain about their odds of signing the striker in 2021.

The report asserts that Chelsea have just met up with Erling Haaland’s entourage to enroll their interest, with Barcelona and Real Madrid – who have both been tipped to swoop for the talented youngster – anticipated to prioritise moves for Kylian Mbappe and Lautaro Martinez respectively.

Borussia Dortmund would apparently request a nine-figure sum for Erling Haaland, who is tied down to the Bundesliga giants until the end of the 2023-24 season.
