Chelsea FC want to sign Borussia Dortmund duo Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham, report says
Chelsea FC are hoping to forge a positive relationship with Borussia Dortmund in negotiations to sign Erling Haaland to secure a deal for Jude Bellingham later as well, according to an England report.
The Daily Star reports that the Champions League winners are closing in on a deal to sign the Norway international to bolster Thomas Tuchel’s attacking roster ahead of his first full season in charge.
The same article says the Blues could look to secure a deal for Haaland this summer despite potentially having to pay more than £ 100million for the 20-year-old despite an £ 80million release clause coming into play next summer.
According to the same story, Chelsea FC are hopeful that negotiations with Dortmund this summer could lay the groundwork for the Blues to work on a deal to sign Bellingham in a future transfer window.
The report adds that the England international is a long-term target for the South West London side, but Chelsea FC will likely face competition for the teenager’s signing as well.
Bellingham scored one goal and made three assists in 29 Bundesliga games last season.
The 17-year-old has already made 45 appearances for the German side since moving to Dortmund from Birmingham City last summer.
