Fans to welcome Tuchel’s top transfer target as £120 million man ‘expects’ to sign with Chelsea on big five-year deal
Erling Haaland reportedly ‘expects’ to complete a blockbuster move to Chelsea this summer transfer window.
Haaland, 20, is the most coveted player in world football after a scintillating 18 months in Germany with Dortmund, where he’s averaged just shy of a goal-a-game in his 59 appearances for the club.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is keen to splash the cash and add a proven striker to that attack, and reportedly has made Haaland his number one transfer target.
Now reports have claimed that Haaland reportedly ‘expects’ to complete a blockbuster move to Chelsea, but his agent Mino Raiola is said to want a ‘get-out clause’ placed in his contract with the Blues.
Transfer guru Ian McGarry said: “His agent, Mino Raiola, is keen to insert a get-out clause into Haaland’s contract in order that he move – his next move that is after he moves from Dortmund is smooth and is also concrete with regards to the payment and also the structure.
“And of course in Mino’s case, the commission. Chelsea are not particularly keen on any get-out clause for any of their players.
“This is something that is obviously common in Spain, in La Liga, and also in Serie A and sometimes in the Bundesliga as well.
“Because, of course, Haaland is coming from Borussia Dortmund and expects to be joining Chelsea before the new season begins.
“This is something that has to be ironed out between Raiola and Chelsea if this deal is going to be signed in terms of both Dortmund and the player himself.”
