It has emerged that Chelsea have made an offer to Borussia Dortmund in an attempt to secure the highly sought-after transfer of Erling Haaland this summer.
According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, the Blues have offered the Bundesliga giants a fee of €70m – relatively low given the quality and all-time great promise of Haaland – as well as Tammy Abraham.
20-year-old Haaland has continued to show his prolific nature at Dortmund, having sealed a switch to the side in January of 2020 after showing serious promise with Red Bull Salzburg.
The Telegraph reported just over a week ago that the Blues would in fact explore the option of using Abraham as a makeweight in a deal for Haaland and here we are.
Chelsea, who wish to recruit a centre-forward after winning the Champions League with Thomas Tuchel, may have attached themselves to a low-ball offer that could see them embarrassed though.
The Telegraph reported that Haaland was expected to cost more than £150m and here sit the Blues reportedly offering €70m for the striker and the services of a now fringe player in Abraham.

A host of the world’s biggest clubs are in for the services of the Norwegian sensation, with Manchester City seemingly leading the race by a margin that may be becoming wider now that Haaland is out partying with one of their current stars, the exit of Sergio Aguero and of course the family ties with City.
It remains to be seen whether the capture of Abraham in a part-exchange deal would appeal to Dortmund, especially considering the massive fee they could command for Haaland outright.
There’s no doubt that the Blues would see their odds in relation to winning the Premier League and defending Europe’s most prestigious trophy if they were to capture Haaland this summer.
Haaland to Man City
Chelsea no ready yet
wasting to much time
Never City fan Man City already as good team if DeBrunye doesn’t extend his 2025 deadline. Then man city needs halland.
we need ¥ou at the age of 24 halland
I think Chelsea are not yet ready to sign or buy Haaland this summer*
Chelsea is not serious at all to sign haaland
Sell pls
Its a welcome development but Chelsea fc should also go for Lautaro Martinez
I want to c Abraham @ chealsea
We need kane
I strongly believe in power negotiation of Marina,and I know by 11th Aug.that will be playing against Villarreal in Super cup either Haaland or Kane will be representing Chelseafc.
I think Chelsea should up their bid if they are to secure the services of Hallaand.
That is a fair deal with Abraham.
Of course Chelsea is ready for me
Chelsea’s bid for Erling Haaland to Borussia Dortmund is simply insulting. Will result in an instant NO. What is Marina smoking? Even worse than ManU bid for Sancho last year. Surprised that people still dont understand, that Dortmund dont play around.
Haland come now or we buy kane
Chelsea will increase the bill but I think they just want to see reaction from bvb
Chelsea shud quit bundesliga strikers
Chelsea wy wasting time nawn
70+Abraham @rate 40?
Let them pay the money nah please chelsea in like that gy
Let haaland come chelsea so that his name will be in the list of super cup,commenit shide and club world cup
Halland shouldn’t sign right now he is now in the Champions Leauge if they can stay they have a chance of winning with Halland
Forget about haaland, because he is still young, go for herry kane?
We really need a striker that will enable us win the premier league and retain the championship
