Chelsea have made a purchase and loan back with Dortmund before.

Roman want's him badly, let's make an offer Dortmund can't refuse, £200,000,000

The only thing making me have a sliver of hope is that BVB would have to explain to their investor how selling him next year for less than half the fee was a good fincancial decision. Then again they Lewa's contract run out, sooo...

They also did it with Sancho last summer TBF.

True, but Sancho doesn't have a release clause this year. Haaland will def go for 100m less next year though

True but it's the same thing either way - Dortmund selling their star player for less money a year later. Based on their stance with Sancho last summer and Haaland this year, would like to think they have weighed up the financial benefit and sporting benefit (e.g. qualifying for CL, winning a cup) by keeping a star player for another year. One could argue that it was Sancho's return to form this year that helped propel Dortmund into the Top 4 after their horrendous form under Favre and early on under Terzic.

I would prefer we wrap this up this summer, shock, but mainly due to the fact we are coming off of the UCL win and, similar to Hazard, our pulling power will never be higher until we win it again. There is no telling what happens next season with the teams able to pay his wages when his rumoured lower release clause comes into effect.

 

now or never.

Look, i'm just looking for any reason to make this transfer happening actually seem feasible 😅 But you're right of course, BVB def have a history of being stubborn about stuff like this

Forget all other positions CB, RWB or CM, get him at all costs, we can cope another year without any reinforcements in those positions but Haaland chance is only once in a lifetime.

Obscene transfer fee and wages which cannot be financially justified in any kind of way. A financial ball and chain of a deal  and completely blowing apart our wage structure like this is another very bad idea.

Whilst I agree regarding transfer fee, the wages are reported and we read all the time how inflated numbers are. I doubt we’d been looking at the deal in a serious manner if we are looking at +£200k a week ontop of our highest earner, give Marina some credit, she’s one of the best in the business.
