Days go by in the European market and more and more details of future bombings are known. Chelsea, current champion of the Champions League, is confident of being able to specify another world star.
The London box appears as the main interested in Erling Haaland, but Borussia Dortmund is putting all possible obstacles to keep its young star.
A few days ago, the German daily ‘Bild’ reported that the ‘Blues’, led by billionaire Roman Abramovich, were enlisting a stratospheric sum for the Norwegian pearl.
There was talk of 175 million euros, thus becoming, if given, the second most expensive signing in history. Now, from the Dortmund board it seems not to be enough.
As the Teutonic team comes from selling Jadon Sancho for 85 million euros to Manchester United, the team’s top brass do not consider the amount they can offer for Haaland vital. What is really important, as detailed by the European media, goes through the player who can replace the striker.
With this on the table, Chelsea would have thought of including one of her attacking stars in the operation. Now, we talk about barter, but not about the monetary amount that would be added.
Thus, the target would be neither more nor less than Timo Werner, the tip who arrived last summer as the great star of the team. Despite breaking it down in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig, his season in England was quite low-key. Especially in front of the door.
In the Premier League he scored just six goals in 35 games and fans remember him more for the countless failures he starred in.
Of course, his successful time in Germany is remembered and in that sense it would be an interesting option for Dortmund, taking into account that they would not be forced to buy the replacement for Haaland but would take advantage of the inclusion of an elite striker.
The question is, will Abramóvich give the order to give Werner (valued at 65 million euros) together with 175 million net?
