Chelsea are reportedly preparing to submit a £130m offer for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland.
The 21-year-old scored 41 times and registered 12 assists in 41 appearances at club level during the 2020-21 campaign, and he is believed to be Chelsea's number one attacking target this summer.
Dortmund continue to insist that the Norway international will not be leaving in the current market, but a £68m release clause in his contract will become active next summer.
According to Football Insider, Chelsea are preparing to make a £130m offer for the striker, with the club's owner Roman Abramovich giving the green light on the move.
Haaland - also linked with Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City - has found the back of the net on 57 occasions in 59 appearances for Dortmund in all competitions.
The Norwegian recently hinted that he would be staying at Signal Iduna Park during this summer's transfer window, but Chelsea are seemingly refusing to give up on their pursuit of the youngster. body check tags ::
