Borussia Dortmund rejects Chelsea’s two players included in Erling Haaland's bid

Borussia Dortmund have reportedly turned down Chelsea’s attempt to include two players as part of their bid to sign Erling Haaland this summer.

Borussia Dortmund, however, are adamant that Haaland will stay with them for at least one more season as any potential deal for the striker would cost Chelsea in the region of £150m.

The Blues have attempted to offset that cost by offering Dortmund the opportunity to sign Tammy Abraham or Callum Hudson-Odoi as part of the deal for Haaland according to Sky Germany.

The Norway international Is Thomas Tuchel’s top target to strengthen his attack, while Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is also intent on bringing the 20-year-old Dortmund forward to Stamford Bridge. 

But the report claims that Dortmund have ‘waved off’ Chelsea’s proposal.

Chelsea are already open to selling Abraham this summer and the club is holding out for a £40m transfer fee with both West Ham and Aston Villa interested.

The Champions League holders are willing to listen to offers for Hudson-Odoi who also struggled to secure a regular role after Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as a manager in January.

Sebastian Kehl, who is replacing Michael Zorc as the club’s sporting director for Dortmund next summer, has stressed that the plan has not changed regarding the striker’s future.

“I have also read about the sum, but for us, nothing has changed on this matter.

“We are planning firmly with Erling, this has also been clearly communicated to him and his advisor.

“He wants to play football, he feels comfortable with us and is hungry to score many goals for us this season.’ Kehl said this week.
