Chelsea are reportedly planning to make a £78m bid for Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland in the summer.
The 20-year-old is enjoying an outstanding campaign with Dortmund, contributing 23 goals from just 21 outings in the Bundesliga and Champions League.
Dortmund will be powerless to keep hold of the Norway international if any club activates a release clause which goes live in 2022.
However, according to WinSports, Chelsea are determined to win the race for the emerging star by signing him at the end of the season.
While the alleged fee being considered by the Blues is above Haaland's asking price, Dortmund are expected to wait for higher offers with Real Madrid and Manchester City also monitoring the situation.
Dortmund have previously insisted that they have little interest in parting ways with Haaland until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
