The Athletic reports Chelsea are ‘determined’ to sign Haaland at the end of the season.

But his £66.6million release clause cannot be activated until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

To let their star man leave this summer, Dortmund will demand a huge transfer fee.

Chelsea are reportedly willing to make him their most expensive player in history.

That title is currently held by Kepa Arrizabalaga, who cost them £71.6m in 2018.

Haaland, 20, joined Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in 2019 for just £17.1m.

But his value has rocketed following his incredible spell of form in the Bundesliga.
