      Chelsea undertaking ‘intense’ work to reach transfer deal with Erling Haaland, says ex-Norway striker Jan Aage Fjortoft

      CHELSEA are hard at work formulating a deal to sign Erling Haaland, according to reports.Thomas Tuchel has delivered the Champions League to Stamford Bridge and is being given a huge transfer fund to plot a Premier League title bid.

      A new striker is among their targets with Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane joining Haaland in being linked with the Blues.
      According to former Norway striker turned pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft, the Borussia Dortmund star is the number one priority.
      Chelsea are working ‘intensely’ to beat Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City to the 20-year-old, it is said.
      However, Haaland’s wage demands are reportedly the biggest stumbling block in the deal.
      It had already been noted that Borussia may demand as much as £172million for their star forward – yet Fjortoft insists the Prem giants are confident of working around that.
      Instead, the Chelsea wage structure may end up being blown apart if the club is not careful in personal terms negotiations with the Norwegian’s agent, Mino Raiola.

      SunSport revealed earlier this year that Haaland may cost £600,000-a-week in wages, on a five-year contract which would surpass £150m on its own.
      Any prospective buyer may have to wait until next summer to complete a deal, when his release clause is rumoured to drop to £63m.
      And the marksman appears to be in no rush to leave Germany having smashed 41 goals in 2020-21.
      Haaland recently told NENT: “I have a contract for a couple of fine years, so I am respectful towards my contract.”

      This time around, however, the Red Devils look set to finally secure their target.
      According to The Mirror, Dortmund will accept £81.5m for the 21-year-old.
      Manchester City are set to receive £12.25m from the deal, having included a 15 per cent sell on clause when Sancho moved to Dortmund as a 17-year-old.
      Sancho had a sensational 2019-20 season, prompting United’s interest by scoring 20 goals and assisting another 20 in 44 appearances for Dortmund.
      His numbers dropped off slightly the following campaign, but he still managed an exceptional 16 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.
      He is currently on international duty with England and is set to play a key role for Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions this summer.

      But Dortmund are reportedly demanding an astonishing £172m for the Norwegian ace as they seek to keep him for one more year.

      But Dortmund are determined to keep the 20-year-old for another year.
      According to AS, the German giants have slapped a £172million (€200m) price tag on their talismanic forward.

      Man City could turn their immediate attention towards prising wantaway striker Harry Kane away from Tottenham.
      While Man United relieved their need for a new No9 by re-signing Edinson Cavani for next season.
      Chelsea would love a new centre forward, having also been linked with Romelu Lukaku.

      RB Leipzig’s Sorloth begs fans of ex-club Trabzonspor to ‘stop calling me’ after he’s bombarded with 3.4MILLION messages

      ALEXANDER SORLOTH has begged fans of former club Trabzonspor to ‘stop calling me’.That’s after supporters of the Turkish outfit bombarded the RB Leipzig ace with 3.4MILLION messages on Instagram.

      The bizarre social media flood occurred when ex-Crystal Palace forward Sorloth, 25, uploaded a photo three days ago.
      The picture simply showed the striker training with Norway at a camp in Marbella, Spain.
      But Sorloth’s snap was soon swamped by millions of comments, with Trabzonspor fans begging him to return to Turkey.
      Sorloth became the club’s all-time leading foreign goalscorer with 33 strikes in 49 games during a year on loan in the 19/20 campaign.

      Sorloth, who was still owned by Palace at the time, was eager to make his move permanent after becoming an instant Trabzonspor legend.
      But he was instead sold to Leipzig for over £17million after they met Palace’s asking price.
      Sorloth managed just six goals in his first season with the Bundesliga side.
      And after missing out on the Turkish title to Istanbul Basaksehir by just four points this term, Trabzonspor die-hards hoped to convince Sorloth to return by bombarding him with a social media campaign.

      However, the hitman has now pleaded with fans to stop sending him messages and comments, saying ’Enough is enough’.
      In a tweet that appears to have since been deleted, Sorloth wrote: “I appreciate your love and support but please stop calling and sending me messages.
      “It makes my life very stressful. Enough is enough.”

      The Athletic report that talks are underway again between United and the German outfit.
      And the Old Trafford side hope they can sign him for less than the £108million asking price last summer.
      The Red Devils were desperate to land Sancho last summer.
      But Dortmund’s previous asking price proved to be more than United were willing to pay.
      Bundesliga side Dortmund are reportedly holding out for £80m plus another £20m in add-ons.
      SunSport previously reported that United have ‘mostly agreed’ personal terms with Sancho over a £77million move this summer.
      And Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc admitted the club will not stand in the winger’s way if a suitable offer comes in – but they won’t be so open to fellow target Erling Haaland leaving.

      “He’s been with us for a couple of years. However, this agreement does not exist with Erling.”
      Marcus Rashford got Man Utd fans excited with his latest tweet.

      He posted a picture of himself with Sancho in England training ahead of this summer’s Euros with the caption ‘little bro’.
      One fan said: “Can’t wait to watch you guys play every game this coming season together. Tears in my eyes.”
      And another remarked: “Agent Rashford”.

      Sead Kolasinac won just two out of 17 games while on loan at Schalke
      Shkodran Mustafi had a torrid time in his Schalke spell, conceding 36 goals in his 13 appearances
      Kolasinac returned to Schalke on a temporary basis in January but the club has decided not to try to make the deal permanent.
      He will now leave Schalke alongside Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, with the club’s Director of Sport Peter Knabel releasing a statement.
      It reads: “This decision hurts us both in sport and human terms.
      “In view of the current budget and squad structure – all the known and publicly discussed challenges – there was no alternative. We have to be so honest.
      “We are very grateful to them that they supported the association they love to the best of their ability for six months.
      “Every time you meet them you can feel how important Schalke 04 is to them and how much they feel connected to the club.
      “We would like to say thank you for the great passion and support you have shown the club in these difficult times.”
      Journalist Chris Wheatley reports Kolasinac has failed to reach an agreement with Schalke due to the club’s financial limitations.
      Alongside his team-mates, Kolasinac was targeted by Schalke fans in protests following the club’s relegation.
      Eggs, fireworks and abuse were hurled at the squad, which included Shkodran Mustafi, by a 600-person mob.
      Mustafi has since been released by the German outfit, lasting just three months at the VELTINS-Arena.
      The former Germany international moved back to his homeland after his contract was terminated by the Gunners in February.

      Mikel Arteta must now decide whether to sell or keep Kolasinac

      Mikel Arteta will have to consider doing the same with Kolasinac, who has just a year remaining on his current deal.
      The Spaniard has preferred to use Kieran Tierney and Bukayo Saka at left back instead of Kolasinac, so it is possible the Bosnian will be moved on once more, perhaps on loan or on a permanent basis.
      Clubs in Italy and Turkey are reportedly looking at Kolasinac, who looks set to depart The Emirates according to Wheatley.

      Chelsea transfer target Robert Lewandowski hints at Bayern exit by admitting he is ‘curious to learn a new culture’

      by

      ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI has sparked new talk of a potential transfer my admitting he is curious to learn a new culture.The Poland international has spent 11 years in Germany, seven at Bayern Munich, and is seemingly ready to explore somewhere new.
      Robert Lewandowski is eager to explore new surroundings after an 11-year stint in Germany
      Thomas Tuchel will likely be hoping the Premier League and Champions League title appeals to Lewandowski
      Lewandowski, 32, has been linked to Chelsea, Barcelona, and PSG, with the Blues reportedly making contact with the striker earlier this month.
      And now Lewandowski has hinted at a potential move.
      He told Canal+: “I remain open-minded. I feel very good at Bayern, the city is superb, it’s a great club.”
      “I am always curious to learn a new language, a new culture. But whether it will be in football or after my career, even I don’t know.”
      Lewandowski is still improving and hot off the back of an astonishing campaign in which he scored 41 Bundesliga goals.
      He could be the perfect fit for Chelsea this summer, as Thomas Tuchel wants to add two or three players to his Champions League winning squad.
      Tammy Abraham has been heavily linked with a transfer exit – West Ham, Newcastle and Aston Villa are all rumoured to be interested.
      And fellow striker Olivier Giroud could also be next out of the door at Stamford Bridge, possibly to AC Milan.

      That would create space for a striker like Lewandowski, who could be attracted to the Premier League, with Manchester City also a potential destination.
      A report earlier this month hinted at a possible move to England due to Lewandowski’s desire to earn more money.
      He last put pen to paper on a new contract at Bayern Munich in 2019, but now appears ready to try something new.

      Man Utd ‘mostly agree’ Jadon Sancho personal terms and Dortmund star’s representatives ‘expect £77m transfer’

      MANCHESTER UNITED have ‘mostly agreed’ personal terms with Jadon Sancho, according to reports.And the player’s representatives are ‘expecting’ a £77million transfer to get over the line this summer.
      Jadon Sancho’s transfer to Manchester United could be completed while he is on international duty with EnglandCredit: Getty
      United tried to sign Sancho last year but were put off by Borussia Dortmund’s £108m asking price.
      Now Sport1 in Germany reckon the Bundesliga side have dropped their demands and an accepted bid will open the door for negotiations to be completed.
      But after the discussions that took place in 2020, it should not take too long to seal an agreement between United and Sancho.
      The report does add, though, that a formal transfer bid is yet to be lodged by the Old Trafford club.
      It is thought United are prioritising winger Sancho over strikers Erling Haaland or Harry Kane this year.
      And Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc admitted the club will not stand in Sancho’s way if a suitable offer comes in after playing hard ball a year ago to get another season out of the Englishman.
      Zord said: “We already had a gentlemen’s agreement with Jadon last year that he can switch under certain conditions.
      “He’s been with us for a couple of years. However, this agreement does not exist with Erling.”
