Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland would reportedly turn down a move to Chelsea if the Blues came knocking.
Speculation over the 20-year-old's next career move is dominating the talk of the transfer market at present, with Chelsea one of several top European clubs believed to be interested in a deal.
Thomas Tuchel's side have supposedly earmarked Haaland as their top target for the summer window, but it would likely take a nine-figure sum to prise him away from the Westfalenstadion.
Furthermore, German outlet Bild claims that the Dortmund man has narrowed his shortlist of potential suitors down to six clubs, and Chelsea are not on the list.
Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona, Liverpool and Juventus are understood to be the six sides on Haaland's list if he does seek pastures new ahead of the 2021-22 season, although Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke recently affirmed that he is not expecting "crazy" bids for the striker this summer.
Haaland broke yet another record in midweek as his brace in Dortmund's Champions League thriller with Sevilla on Tuesday night took him up to 20 goals in the tournament after only 14 matches - the quickest time to reach that milestone in Europe's premier competition.
