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.

Basically almost our entire transfer budget. 🤔

Would like to think it's all when you throw in the signing-on fees, agent fees etc.

Only 10% of it is accrued on the financial statement. 

The very reason why we've been able to bypass FFP all those years.

Think Raiola will demand at least €20m, he asking that sum for Donnarumma as well.

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.

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.

Unlikely Tuchel will bench Werner, he is crucial for our attack.
