Lampard told details of release clause that would allow Chelsea to land Bundesliga powerhouse for €75 million
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Chelsea may be able to sign Erling Haaland for just €75 million in 2022
Haaland became one of the hottest properties in European football at Red Bull Salzburg in the first half of the season, and The 19-year-old hit 28 goals in 22 matches across all competitions for the Austrian outfit.

Romano has claimed that Dortmund do not want to sell their key man in 2021 and will fight to keep the striker, but he has told Chelsea that Haaland has a release clause in his contract that they may be able to activate in the summer of 2022
