Few clubs will be willing to match the fee that Chelsea paid RB Leipzig to buy Werner back in the summer of 2020.
As a result, the news that Dortmund are interested in using him to replace Haaland presents them with a golden opportunity.
Though they will need to send a portion of a transfer fee in return for Haaland, using Werner as a makeweight could make a deal with the Blues much more attractive.
And that could hand them an unexpected advantage in a race that also contains the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid.
