Why wouldn't they ask for a shit ton of money? If they can't get it this year, he'll just stay at Dortmund another season and then have clubs lining up to offer silly money in wages and signing on fees next year.

Yeah, forget the theworldwide health and economic crisis. He's a footballer and has the God given right to screw an industry out of every pound he can get from it. 

It just gives a bad impression of football and at a time when there are signs that people are losing interest in football and sports in general.

If a club, be it Chelsea or someone else, is willing to pay an obscene amount of money as a transfer fee to secure their services they have every right to ask for the best possible contract. Whether it's morally 'right' for the clubs to pay such moneys in times like these is another question entirely but I can't fault the players for continuing to look out for their own best interests. 

The real scum bags are people like Jeff Bezos who during the pandemic have only stepped up their efforts in exploiting regular people to get even richer, as if the +100 billion is not already enough.

My feeling is that if we really want Haaland we could offer 90m and loan him to them for next season 

Dortmund gets a bigger fee and a chance to keep Haaland for another season 

Haaland gets a big moved sorted and can focus on his football 

Chelsea get the player they want for a good price 

 

Would prefer to get him this summer but couldn’t see any reason why Dortmund would turn this deal down.

90 million + loan back? 

If that was possible, I'd like to think that the other clubs would be trying to do the same thing.

City maybe 

I don’t think Real or Barcelona have the money right now

The point is, 90 million isn't exactly a lot for the big clubs out there and most of the time, clubs don't pay the full fee upfront in major transfers anyway. It tends to be done in installments.

Dortmund already buying the Haaland replacement, he is coming boys.

The fact is: With or withou Haaland Borussia just simply can't wil the league.

So, its better for them to sell Haaland now and receive a more than 100M€ than selling next year and just receive 75M€...

For them the question is if they finish in or out of the CL and that is worth a lot more than 25m

Don't think the club nor Haaland would like the loan deal. Too much risk. We could fall out on a CL place or Haaland could tear his ACL.

Yeah, it would be insanity to agree to that. We're desperate for a CF, €60m in this situation doesn't move the needle for us.

City have put in a bid for 115 million.

Also states they put in a bid for Kane but nothing was reported if they accepted or not.

Is the source SI quoted - Ekrem Konur - even reliable? I don't see any of the other notable journalists even following him on Twitter even though he's got the blue tick.

Also, if Haaland is really gonna costs only €110 million, I doubt clubs would just be sitting around and doing nothing. We wouldn't have been trying to consider all possibilities to get a deal going. Plus, that €110 million isn't that big of a difference to his release clause and if so, all the more reason Dortmund won't sell him this summer.

[Mário César 975]

Shit source

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

I don't believe it myself. All reports indicate City want Kane. 

Much like @King Kante assertion, it feels as if this will drag out like Havertz, although I am doubtful this will be pulled off given the difference in circumstances.

The only thing that could make City turn to Haaland is if Levy really stands his ground and insists on not selling Kane.
