How much will it cost to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland in this summer's transfer window?
The Norway international is in high demand as clubs across Europe - including Chelsea and Real Madrid - battle it out to sign a player that scored 41 goals in as many appearances across all competitions last season.
Unsurprisingly, the noise coming out of Dortmund is that they won't be selling Haaland this summer especially after already losing Jadon Sancho to Manchester United.
"There is nothing new on this matter. He is in our plans. Erling will return this week and he will be very hungry. He wants to play football, he feels comfortable with us and he will be eager to score many goals," Sebastian Kehl, who is set to take over from current sporting director Michael Zorc, told Sky Germany.
With that said, there's a chance that Dortmund will cash in on their prized asset during the summer transfer window.
But only on the condition that their demands are met.
As reported by ESPN FC at the end of March, it was said that a monstrous €180million (£153m) bid would be enough to tempt the Bundesliga side into selling Haaland this summer.
Although just last month, reports in Italy claimed that Dortmund had slapped a €175m (£149m) price-tag on the striker's head and would be powerless to prevent the wonderkid from leaving if the asking price was met.
And whilst Dortmund may have increased their demands by just £1m, it would suggest that the new price tag for Haaland is set at £150m, as per Sport 1.
Interestingly, there has been talk of the Blues lining up a 'monster bid' for Haaland who would become Thomas Tuchel's first signing, but not a £150m offer that would entice the German club.
According to the Mirror, Marina Granovskaia and Tuchel want to include Tammy Abraham - valued at £50m by the club - in a swap deal to bring the Norwegian to west London.
In truth, it would be in the Blues' best financial interest to wait until next summer to push through a move as that is when the 20-year-old's release clause of €75m (£64m) will kick in.
