Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzić says he "can't stop" Erling Haaland's representatives speaking with potential suitors.
Haaland has been linked with a move away from Dortmund this summer with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid all said to be interested.
And ahead of a potential summer deal, Haaland's father Alf-Inge, and agent Mino Raiola have been touring Europe, speaking to a number of clubs.
Last week, the pair were pictured at a number of airports as they spoke to clubs about their projects to find out what could be on offer to Haaland this summer.
It's reported Haaland senior and Raiola spoke with all of the clubs listed above, including Chelsea, and while Erling Haaland is not allowed to speak to other clubs with no bid accepted, there's nothing Dortmund can do about his representatives doing so.
"Personally, it has no impact on me because I can't stop Raiola and Alie Haaland to travel, so it is up to them," said Dortmund boss Terzic. "They are grown-ups and they can do what they want to do.
"I just can have an impact on Erling and we are happy to have him in our team and he is back with us since last Thursday from Norway and the feeling we had right from the start is that he is happy to see us and we are happy to have him around.
"He is a lovely guy and I think his qualities are well known all over the world. We are proud and happy to have him as part of our team."
It comes as Pep Guardiola insisted Manchester City likely 'cannot afford' to sign a top striker to replace the outgoing Sergio Aguero, while Manchester United are reportedly 'prioritising' other positions.
Chelsea may feel they are primed to make a move at this point, and it seems they are free to continue having conversations with Haaland's representatives in a bid to get ahead in the race.
