A source from Chelsea claim the Bundesliga side are not interested in letting Haaland go as the deal for Jadon Sancho to Man United will be completed in the coming days.

According to the source:

"Chelsea are trying but it is going to be very difficult. At the moment it looks like mission impossible.

"It is unlikely but that doesn't mean it can't happen."

What Dortmund want

Sky Sports in Germany revealed that Haaland can only leave the club next summer when he will be sold for £68m which is in accordance with his release clause.

The reports further stated that despite discussions ongoing for the youngster at the moment, the outcome might not yield fruits because of the difficulty Haaland's agent Mino Raiola put on the deal.

The Italian agent reportedly wants £34.2m as commission for any part of the deal for the former Redbull Salzburg star.
