Borussia Dortmund are willing to sell Erling Haaland for €115m (£98.7m), according to ABC. However, the Spanish news outlet claim another €30m (£25.7m) is owed to the striker’s agent Mino Raiola and his father.
With the cost of the deal in total now said to be €145m (£124.4m), supporters on Twitter believe Chelsea should go ahead with a bid and pay what is being asked for the Norwegian international:
How come we havent bid yet….

That's still great value

€145m is just £124m of which £40m can be offset through Tammy swap. Deal is a steal at £85m.

Not too much if you ask me so far as his potential and performances is concerned.

115 mil for the player is a bargain if true.

That aint that bad…considering lukaku is going for almost the same amount and yet he is way older than haalan…its a no brainer for me

That is cheap so get it done Marina. He will be worth double, if not triple that when he (eventually) leaves. #CFC ? #TrueBlue

There’s no way Dortmund are letting him go for 115 mil, at least 145-160

It must be pointed out that there are big question marks over the reliability of the report. Most other sources claim that Dortmund would demand between £130m and £172m for Haaland, which likely excludes agent fees.
Teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City are also said to be interested in the 20-year-old, but they are all reluctant to make an offer due to the asking price, and Chelsea will likely have to break the bank if they want to make this deal happen.
