Chelsea: Tuchel coy when quizzed on transfer targets
With Erling Haaland being strongly linked with an exit from underperforming and cash strapped Borussia Dortmund this summer, a number of Premier League clubs are said to be keen on the Norway striker. However, it appears that he will come at a cost.
Erling Haaland is said to have two main demands over a move to either Manchester United or Chelsea this summer.
Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland is being linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, just 18 months after joining the Bundesliga side.
Dortmund are understood to be looking to raise funds due to the financial impacts of the pandemic, with the likes of Jadon Sancho and Giovanni Reyna also on the chopping block.
But in order to agree to a move, the Star on Sunday report that Haaland is looking to secure a huge wage boost.

With United, Chelsea Manchester City and Real Madrid all in the hunt for the Norwegian, Haaland is keen to cash in personally.
The 20-year-old is looking to to secure a five-year package worth £78million if he comes to England.
That works out at least £300,000-a-week, a similar sort of deal to what Raheem Sterling currently earns, but less than City team-mate Kevin De Bruyne and Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Haaland has a £68m buy-out clause in his contract at Dortmund, but that cannot be triggered until the summer of 2022.
So the German giants have a decision to make - either cash in on the Norway international this summer for a huge fee, or get the most out of him before selling on for a lower price.
Chelsea have apparently made Haaland their top transfer target ahead of the summer.
The Blues have been tipped to go all-out for the Norwegian striker, with Thomas Tuchel apparently set to move for a new centre-forward.
