Chelsea to enter race for Real Madrid target Haaland as Liverpool eye Rodrygo
Chelsea are reportedly ready to make their move for Dortmund star Erling Haaland, who has been linked with Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester City.
Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has been given the all-clear to chase Erling Haaland, despite Borussia Dortmund's insistence that the Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City target is not for sale.
Madrid and Barcelona have been fairly open about their desire to pursue Haaland, while City have remained coy about their intentions this summer. Now it seems that Chelsea are also going to throw their hat into the ring for the the 20-year-old forward.
Meanwhile, Madrid may be looking to offload one of their own young attackers in the form of Rodrygo, who has emerged as a target for Liverpool.
Chelsea boss Tuchel has been given the green light to go after Dortmund star Haaland ahead of next season, according to Bild.
Haaland has scored 27 goals in 25 games for Dortmund this season.
