Guardian's story on Haaland...

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jun/08/dortmund-plan-to-keep-haaland-amid-Chelsea-interest-but-ready-to-sell-sancho

Borussia Dortmund remain determined to keep Erling Haaland for another year despite Chelsea’s desire to sign the striker.

...A deal for Haaland, valued at more than £150m, will be extremely difficult to complete. Dortmund are adamant that the Norway international, who turns 21 next month, is going nowhere yet. The Bundesliga club are in a stronger position after qualifying for the Champions League and plan only one big sale. They will not stand in Jadon Sancho’s way if Manchester United, who are interested in the winger, meet their €90m (£77.5m) asking price for the England international.

Dortmund demonstrated that they are not easy to push around when they refused to drop their asking price for Sancho amid interest from United last summer. Their plan is to keep Haaland for another season, with a transfer more likely next year.

Another complication is the cost of signing Haaland. It is understood that Chelsea, who broke their transfer record when they signed Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen for £62m last summer, are reluctant to spend £150m on the forward. They would prefer to negotiate a lower fee for Haaland, whose agent, Mino Raiola, could seek wages of about £300,000 a week for his client. Barcelona and Real Madrid are unlikely to be able to afford Haaland.

Chelsea have considered putting forward a swap deal involving Tammy Abraham, who is up for sale. However Dortmund are likely to insist on a straight fee for Haaland.

Dortmund have been linked with another Chelsea youngster, Callum Hudson-Odoi. However it is understood that Hudson-Odoi is happy at Stamford Bridge and wants to fight for his place.

Depends which source you believe. Some say €75M and some say it's closer to €100M.

Either way it's a lot less than what Dortmund could potentially get this summer.

Perhaps we can use the fact that Norway aren’t at the Euro’s to our advantage. Buy him before United even actually come in for Sancho.

Right. Add the fact they could potentially see Tammy thrown into it as well. I think its at a point where Marina will see where Dortmund will budge.

So why is my screen black and everything in spanish?

if we want to push Man City and Liverpool in Premier league we need  strong statement like Haaland 

[Styl1994 188]

The way I see it 

Rice probably staying at West Ham one more season with them being in Europe 

give Guehi a go as a squad player at CB 

signing Haaland makes sense imo if you can get it done from the club point of view 

 

a lot of money yes but he would be huge marketing wise and Nike would probably up our shirt sponsorship money because his such a huge star plus unlike Lukaku if he was to move on in five years we would get our money back.

Tammy + Cash for Haaland

35 million for Tchouaméni

Promote Guehi to first team. 

 

We should be competing next season.

We should anyway 

I expect Kai and Werner to have better seasons and with Tuchel having a pre season 

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

Haaland, Havertz, Mount, Pulisic, Werner 

Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Tchouaméni 

Chilwell, James, Alonso, (DAVE) 

Silva, Rudiger, Christensen, Guehi, (DAVE)

Mendy, GK, Kepa

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

[bigbluewillie 1,930]

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...

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