Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel does not want to wait until next summer to make an offer for Borussia Dortmund phenom — and rumored Bayern Munich transfer target — Erling Haaland; he wants to get the Norwegian striker now:
As the English newspaper “Mirror” reports, ex-BVB coach Thomas Tuchel (47), of all things, wants to lure Dortmund striker Erling Haaland (20 / contract until 2024) to the island this season.
Accordingly, the Champions League winner should be ready to pay 175 million euros for the Norwegian. A transfer that would make Haaland the second most expensive player in the world after Paris superstar Neymar (for €222 million in 2018 from Barcelona) …
Haaland-to-Chelsea would be a severe blow to Borussia Dortmund’s Bundesliga and Champions League hopes for this season, but that is A LOT of money to turn down.
Would Dortmund sell off Haaland early in order to get more than twice as much as they would next summer?
The next few weeks could be interesting.
Haaland, meanwhile, is getting some work in on the farm:

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is trying to convince FC Barcelona’s Antoine Griezmann to join him in England, but the Catalan club might want to talk a swap deal with Atletico Madrid for Saul Niguez:
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has made a personal call to Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann regarding a possible move to the Etihad Stadium this summer. That was reported in French title Footmercato, which states that City are in “good contact” with the France international’s agent.
But Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona are considering a swap deal with Atletico Madrid for Saul Niguez. The proposed swap deal would benefit both parties and is in the initial stages.
