National player Timo Werner could face competition at Chelsea in the summer.
Borussia Dortmund's striker Erling Haaland is at the top of the Premier League club's wish list, according to a media report.
According to information from the online magazine “The Athletic”, the Blues want to strengthen themselves with another top striker in summer and have chosen the 20-year-old Haaland for this.
The Norwegian’s contract with BVB runs until 2024, and an exit clause is reportedly only valid from 2022. According to "The Athletic", Chelsea should be willing to pay significantly more than the allegedly stipulated 75 million euros for the attacker and for it also to break the club's own transfer record, which was only set up in the summer - around 100 million euros including bonus payments for ex-Leverkusen-based Kai Havertz.
Haaland moved from RB Salzburg to Dortmund in January 2020 and quickly became a goal guarantor.
Across all competitions, he scored 35 goals in 35 games for BVB.
In addition to Chelsea, this also called on other well-known interested parties such as record champions Manchester United and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

Borussia Dortmund's managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke does not expect Haaland to move early.
“Erling and his advisor Mino Raiola know what they have in us,” Watzke told the “kicker” at the beginning of January and recommended his star to give himself the time “to mature into an absolute world class player in Dortmund”.
