The German told BILD: “We have talked about Haaland a couple of times here at Chelsea. It looked unrealistic. Of course we talk about regularly about him”.
Haaland has never look back since bursting onto the scene with Salzburg before moving to Dortmund. Got to Germany and still playing at the very top of his game. Only a few striker are capable of replicating what the 21year old does.
Haaland has scored 10 goals in each of his two full Champions league seasons, becoming the youngest and the fastest player to reach 20 goals in the competition.
For Borussia Dortmund, Haaland has scored a remarkable 70 goals in 69 appearances while also adding 19 assists. He helped them to the DFB-Pokal titles last season.
When asked about the possibility of signing the Dortmund striker when the club still has Romelu Lukaku in their ranks, he replied: “Sign Haaland with Lukaku? I’ve no problem to talk about that. Let us see what will happen next weeks”.
Haaland is one of the hottest property in the football world and top clubs are alerted to his situation in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich, both Manchester clubs, PSG and Real Madrid have previously been linked with a move for him.
The race to sign Haaland when he does decides to leave Dortmund will be fierce, and Chelsea will fancy the chance of getting a player who will be a bargain for any side, as he still has years ahead as a professional.
