Saturday's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup: Erling Braut Haaland, Dayot Upamecano, Jorginho

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Saturday, February 13.

The January transfer window has now closed, leaving Chelsea to begin looking forward to the summer for their next round of recruitment.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Saturday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:


Chelsea planning sales to fund Erling Braut Haaland pursuit?

Chelsea are reportedly planning to sell several first-team players in order to afford the purchase of Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland this summer.

The Blues have been strongly linked with the Norwegian, who is also understood to be attracting interest from other top European clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

football.london reports that Chelsea may look to sell Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga as well as defenders Andreas Christensen and Fikayo Tomori in order to free up funds to sign the 20-year-old striker.

Kepa, who cost a world record £72m in 2018, has fallen behind new recruit Edouard Mendy and could look to move on for more regular first-team football, as could Christensen, who is behind Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger and Kurt Zouma in the pecking order.

An impressive loan spell for Tomori at AC Milan could persuade the Italian giants to activate a buy option in his contract which is believed to be around £27m.

They also report that Real Madrid plan to sell players such as forward Luka Jovic, which could help them raise the money they need to sign Haaland.

Haaland will be available for around £68m in the summer of 2022, but with his release clause not coming into play until then, Dortmund would likely ask for around £100m this summer having only been with the German club since last year.



Manchester United 'could sign Jadon Sancho for £50m this summer'

Manchester United could reportedly sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho for £50m during this summer's transfer window.

The England international was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford last year, but the Red Devils were not prepared to meet Dortmund's asking price, which was thought to be in the region of £108m.

A recent report claimed that BVB had dropped their valuation of the former Manchester City youngster to £80m due to their financial problems, which would worsen if they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.

However, according to Eurosport, the seriousness of the German club's issues off the field means that United could potentially acquire the attacker for as little as £50m in the upcoming market.

The report claims that Sancho is 'almost certain' to leave Signal Iduna Park this summer, but the 20-time English champions could face competition from the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea.

The 20-year-old has found it difficult to show his best form for Dortmund on a consistent basis during the current season but has still contributed eight goals and 13 assists in 26 appearances in all competitions.
