I struggle to see why he wouldn't want to go the Chelsea? I also think he'd come to us if we were to stump up the cash too. Lets face it, he's got plenty of options, and there is plenty of good ones.

Not arsed about a couple in that list but why is Werner in that list (especially if they got Haaland)? Is he going to carry their bags?This cannot happen at any costs,
Disaster if United let this fall through their fingers, it scares me to think of Haaland in that Chelsea team more than any other player, they would have such a young already successful team for the next 6-8 years easily ,
Mount, Werner, Havertz, Chilwell, James, Gilmour, Pulisic , you add Haaland into that
Pretty decent back up player no?
If Haaland stays this season. I’d be confident of us getting him next year. Could see Chelsea going big this summer though. Saul is overrated, not the midfielder we need.
Ffs (again)
Sick of posters in a United forum giving it the ‘why would they choose us when they could go there’ sob story shite.
We need to pay up for Sancho already to lessen the financial pressure on Dortmund to sell Haaland this summer. Keep the dream alive for one more year.
Oh, thats because even if they won CL (with some luck must be said) they struggled to get into top 4, and are still a somewhat uncertain prospect.
I dont think he wants us either , as we seem miles off any CL title, and as Chelsea doesnt look very likely to win PL.
He has enough ambition to really only consider City, Bayern, Real or Barca.
Yes, the spanish clubs arent really up there either atm, but they have the attraction still.
That depends on whether 150 million Pounds is even enough. Unlike this or even last summer when they were okay with letting Sancho go, they are absolutely unwilling to let go of Haaland this summer. There were no prices publicly suggested by any of the more reliable journalists for him (unlike the 120 million Euros for Sancho last summer), and if you look around for any suggested price, you'll only find 172 million Pounds from AS, a Spanish media outlet.
Dortmund have absolutely no plans to sell Haaland this summer. They've made this very clear. To purchase him, I think that Chelsea will need to offer something like what PSG offered Barcelona for Neymar (222 million Euros).
Werner wouldn’t be in the bench if Haaland (or any striker) is brought in. Don’t know why anyone would suggest that. As shite as his finishing was this past season he still had more direct goal contributions than anyone in our team. Think all Chelsea supporters are confident he’ll come good next season.
Werner on the left, new striker up top. We can essentially use Werner as our version of Heung Min Son. Wide forward who really a second striker.

What ambition could he achieve at any of those clubs that he can’t at Chelsea? In fact, Chelsea is in much better position than either Spanish club right now to win titles over a sustained period.
BVB aren’t selling both Sancho and Erling in a single window. Their fans are probably going to riot there if that happens
Money talks
100 mil plus bid with even a player thrown in and I bet their heads would turn.
Youd take Chelsea winning PL and another CL over those clubs? Fair enough I guess, but I’d not put my money on it.
United fans were saying the same thing about Sancho last summer (i.e. that Dortmund would accept our bids because of COVID hurting their finances), but they didn't budge. That was for a player that they were okay to sell. Haaland is clearly not for sale. Every team will have a much tougher time getting him when he's not for sale.
You never gave them what they wanted. That's why.
Next season they only getting 65 mil.
Are Chelsea planning on playing with four forwards next season?
We just won the CL without a striker. You think we wouldn’t be genuine PL and CL contenders going forward with arguably the best #9 in the world in our team? Really?
We just beat the Spanish champions over two legs comfortably and beat the Spanish runners up over two legs comfortably. Again, with no outright striker.
If 65 m release clause is true and you guys offer 150 m this summer I believe Dortmund would sell , all this posturing is well and good but at end of the day its hard to justify taking hit of 85 m just for vanities sake.
Unless Dortmund believe Haaland would extend his contract with them and they can get rid of the clause it's would be foolish not to sell him if somebody offers anything above 120 m this summer.
Never mind all that, I'll be ordering the popcorn ready for Raiola's shenanigans in two years when they want to move him to Barca or Madrid...
So I see why Chelsea fans think that 150 million Pounds could do the trick:
The article itself states that more than 150 million Pounds will be required, and Chelsea will have to "smash their wage structure". Chelsea are working to determine if the Haaland transfer is even viable. Chelsea will test Dortmund's resolve if they receive some encouragement from Haaland's camp.
City are still interested in Haaland as well as Kane (who they're favourites for). If City rule themselves out of the Haaland race, then Chelsea will feel more confident over striking a deal. To make up for the fee, Chelsea are listening for offers of 40 million Pounds or more for Tammy Abraham. They will also inquire Dortmund about obtaining Abraham to make up for losing Haaland.
In other news, Tuchel's still interested in Declan Rice and a right-sided player (wing back).

We don't exactly know what Dortmund actually wants for Haaland. I even mentioned that my reply to Orc's post. Matt Law saying that more than 150 million is required is vague, but we don't know if even 150 million would make Dortmund budge. We'll need German media outlets/sources to give us a better idea of what Dortmund would want.
Haaland will stay the extra year then pocket the extra 80m difference in transfer fee through signing fee and agent fees. He will make more money next year and is in no rush.
This is my point exactly. We talking at least 40 mil plus on what they take next season.

Not sure Chelsea paid £50m-£60m for a backup who scored 6 PL goals (against lower league teams).
Maybe he's just had a very long settling in period.
It would certainly happen if he moves to the PL. Thing is, if a City/Chelsea/United buy him for 150m and Real Madrid or Barca come in for him in 2-3 years he’ll cost twice that. And these big clubs can’t be bullied like and Arsenal or Spurs can be.
Haaland should wait one more year tbh before deciding his next destination. Chelsea, while UCL champion, did not face PSG, Bayern, lost FA Cup to Leicester, relied on Bale to make top 4. Spanish clubs are going through rebuilding phase, City might need a striker if they fail to land Kane, PSG will be interested to replace Mbappe etc. While joining Chelsea will not be a mistake, it may not be the best decision.
Chelsea are another shite plastic club. Haaland won't want to go there, he has his pick of clubs!
With a level playing field Haaland won't chose Chelsea but fair play if they're the only ones willing to offer the 170m that's being reported can see Haaland going there if Dortmund accept the offer and he has no other offers this summer
Rice and Haaland for another 200+ million summer spend.
They're every bit as bad as city. Funded by dirty money and buying success since 2004.
Financial fair play though eh?

He will go wherever he thinks he can win. If Chelsea are willing to pay ridiculous money to get him then they get him and we will have to look elsewhere. We have been there before and will be there a million times again.
If I remember correctly, winning the CL and finishing in the top 4 in the PL are each worth nearly £100m for a club. Add in money from player sales and we could buy Haaland without even dipping into Roman’s pocket.
Already 30 odd mil up from players sold and we have sooo much dead wood to sell.
Would definitely take Meslier if he ever became available.
Ofcourse you would be that if you got Haaland - but look at it this way, would he want to go to a club that might win if he got there, or to a club that just won, or won a year before without him? Where would he think he had the best chances of success?
Then he could think the same about United seeing we were the closest to City and also without a proper no9 most of the season.
I agree regarding Real Madrid though, even though they are a shadow of the former selves atm, but their general allure and history in LaLiga and CL really dwarfs both Chelsea and United’s, I really think he could make an exception for them and Barca.
Im not trying to take cheap or undervaluing Chelsea here, I certainly think it he would feel it would be more chances of success there than at United probably.
Chelsea fans getting baited hard

Very long? He's been there one season in which they also changed manager . And whilst infront of goal he's not been great his play otherwise has been very good
