Erling Haaland delivers seven-word transfer tease amid Chelsea and Real Madrid links

Erling Haaland has teased a transfer amid links with Chelsea ahead of this summer.

The Borussia Dortmund star is said to be atop Chelsea's transfer shortlist ahead of the summer, but the Blues are not the only club to express an interest.

A number of clubs, including Real Madrid and Manchester United, have been linked with a move for the Dortmund star, who could cost more than £100million ahead of next season.

Amid those neverending transfer links, Haaland showed his worth with two goals in the Champions League for Dortmund against Sevilla in a 3-2 away win on Wednesday night.

And after that first leg brace, Haaland was quizzed about links with Real Madrid, and his answer might just interest Chelsea fans.

Asked how it feels to desired by Real Madrid fans, Haaland replied: "It's always nice if someone wants you."

Haaland is said to be happy at Dortmund having only joined in 2020, but that reply far from puts to bed any transfer talk. In fact, it does quite the opposite, teasing supporters over a potential deal this summer.

The Norwegian striker also spoke about his two goals and how PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe inspired him with the French frontman scoring a hat-trick against Barcelona at Camp Nou on the previous night.

"It was good to score goals<" he added. "I love Champions League and when I saw Mbappe score a hat-trick yesterday, I got free motivation, so thanks to him and yeah, it was a nice evening.

"I saw Mbappe yesterday and he scored some nice goals. I got the free boost from him, so it was nice."

Haaland has scored 25 goals and assisted seven in just 24 appearances across all competitions this season.

The 20-year-old has a £68million release clause, but it does not come into effect until 2022. Before then, clubs will likely have to pay more than £100m to get a deal done.
