According to Fabrizio Romano, the next leg on Mino Raiola’s European tour to flog Erling Haaland will be England, with Chelsea being linked with the striker.
As was reported by Sky Sports yesterday, the Borussia Dortmund star’s representatives held talks with both Real Madrid and Barcelona in their efforts to find his next club.

The Athletic have reported previously that Haaland ranks highly among Chelsea’s transfer targets, with the West London giants ready to make a move to sign him this summer.
It’s difficult to imagine the two Manchester clubs not wanting a word in Raiola’s ear, too, so it’d be naive for Chelsea fans to think his visit would start and finish in the capital.
Nonetheless, it’s good signs if Haaland is insisting that all options are explored, not just the traditional big two in Spain, who tend to be the most attractive destinations for the best players on the planet.
