Jase 43,479 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Saw this bit in an article about United's transfer plans... https://theathletic.com/2601799/?source=twitteruk At the start of 2021, Erling Haaland was United’s principal target for the centre-forward role but as his agent, Mino Raiola, made his way around Europe it became clear the cost of any deal for the 20-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker would surpass all expectations. The prospective €150 million transfer price, plus agent fees and salary demands of £500,000 per week, which would break many clubs’ wage structures, certainly led United to re-evaluate. To that end, outgoing executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward recently informed manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that the cost of his Norwegian countryman would be too prohibitive and, by mutual decision to avoid any saga, the Haaland pursuit was put on hold. Multiple sources believe that Dortmund expect Haaland to stay for another season now Champions League qualification has been secured. Haaland’s €75 million (£64 million) release clause comes into effect in the summer of 2022. Manchester City were previously confident but there is a school of thought that Real Madrid stand out as the striker’s first-choice destination.

He is seen as the “missing” player to make them challenge for the PL-title next season. Fee very high, but confidence that this can be solved. The main obstacle could be the wage-structure at Chelsea Break the wage structure, he is worth it. Whats the source. DDA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Fjortoft is normally pretty clueless and only regurgitates what he hears from other journalists, but with his Norwegian connection I wonder if he’s slightly more clued in here with Haaland… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2D2 368 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 According to journalist Kristof Terreur, the asking price for the Norweigan hitman is thought to be in the region of €180m (£154.5m) - with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich ready to fund it.

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Considering Haaland looks to be a generational talent, and the continued rumors Roman wants him at all costs, I reckon there may be some truth here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Matt Law with the latest on Haaland. Seems like we're just testing the waters at the moment... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/06/07/Chelsea-pursuing-erling-haaland-transfer-interest-looking-whether/ Chelsea are pursuing their interest in trying to sign Erling Haaland this summer, despite acknowledging that any deal would be incredibly complicated and difficult to negotiate. And Telegraph Sport understands that Chelsea have already made attempts to explore whether or not Dortmund would be interested in Tammy Abraham, either as part of a deal for Haaland or in a separate transfer. It is still unclear whether Chelsea will make an official bid for Haaland, given the full cost of a deal for the striker would be more than £150million and smash their wage structure, but they are working behind the scenes to find out if a transfer could be viable. With Manchester City favourites to land Harry Kane if he does leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer and Romelu Lukaku insisting he will stay at Inter Milan, Chelsea are unwilling to give up on Haaland before fully exhausting all possibilities. A new striker remains a priority for head coach Thomas Tuchel, who is also interested in midfielder Declan Rice and would like a right-sided player. Dortmund have claimed they will not sell 20-year-old Haaland this summer, but that will not stop Chelsea testing their resolve if they receive enough encouragement from the player’s camp. City are also interested in Haaland and whether or not they move for Kane may also impact Chelsea’s next move, given the threat of an auction would undoubtedly keep the Norwegian’s price extremely high. Were City to effectively take themselves out of the race to sign Haaland by bidding for Kane, then Chelsea may seize the opportunity to try to negotiate a deal with Dortmund. As first revealed by Telegraph Sport, Chelsea are willing to listen to offers of £40million for Abraham and his sale could help to fund a bid for Haaland. Similarly, the Blues are also aware that Dortmund would most likely want a replacement lined up. It is unclear whether or not Dortmund are interested in Abraham, but Chelsea are understood to have made attempts to find out whether or not the German club could be a potential destination for him. Dortmund have been linked with a move for Callum Hudson-Odoi if, as expected, they sell Jadon Sancho to Manchester United, but Chelsea are more reluctant to let him go.
