Boss Tuchel wants £150m deal be completed in coming weeks as new season approaches

According to reports, Thomas Tuchel is eager for the Blues to move for Erling Braut Haaland ‘promptly’.

Hypothesis encompassing the Norwegian’s future has cooled recently, as Borussia Dortmund are certain that they can hold his services for one more year.

The 20-year-old’s £68m release clause will become active the following summer, but Chelsea are believed to prepared a huge £150m offer as they try to dominate the race for his signature in the coming weeks.

As per German outlet Bild, Tuchel wants Chelsea to go all out in their endeavors to sign Haaland in the current window, however a transfer ahead of the 2021-22 season is still ‘very far-fetched’.

Manchester United and Real Madrid also continues to be connected with a swoop for the Norway international, however the Red Devils will apparently not move for another striker this summer after Edinson Cavani signed one more year contract extension.

Haaland’s current deal with Dortmund doesn’t lapse until 2024, and he struck 41 goals in as many matches for BVB across all competitions last term.
