Good news for Chelsea fans, as Dortmund wants to sell Erling Haaland but on one condition
The European Champions Chelsea are very desperate to Land the Dortmund Striker Erling Haaland as they want a world class striker.
However, according to McGarry Dortmund are willing to sell but will only accept a cash fee of €150 million which could be difficult for the Blues to invest but this is the time for club owner, Roman Abramovich to showcase his wealth and prove he really ants Erling Haaland as widely reported.
Speaking on the Transfer Window Podcast earlier this week, McGarry said: “Elsewhere on Chelsea’s list of course, as we’ve consistently reported ahead of anyone else, is their interest in Erling Haaland.
“The Borussia Dortmund striker has an outrageous record of goals per game in terms of ratio.
“It’s our understanding that Timo Werner, who it’s safe to say did not enjoy a very good debut season at Stamford Bridge, was offered as part of a deal for Haaland.
“Therefore, obviously, negating part of the fee in terms of the quite substantial amount Dortmund are quoting for Haaland in excess of €150m at this point.
“I’m told that Werner unlike [Kai] Havertz hasn’t adapted well to life in England. He has not assimilated himself necessarily very well. He’s an introverted character. Havertz is extroverted. Even though he has the safety net of having Havertz as an international team-mate and other players like Antonio Rudiger, it just hasn’t happened for him.
“I’m told Dortmund want cash only. That’s not really a surprise Werner was offered because the club know they’ve got a difficult task ahead of them to get him into form and the player himself needs to convince himself that is going to happen for him.”
Meanwhile in recent news, Chelsea are offering Timo Werner as part of deal to land the Norwegian striker as manager Thomas Tuchel has made the 21-year-old his top target in a bid to bolster his attacking options ahead of his first full season in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Timo Werner scored six goals and made eight assists in 35 games in the Premier League for Chelsea FC last season but Thomas Tuchel is not convinced of his attacking influence.
