Borussia Dortmund’s<\/a> superstar striker, Erling Haaland, has been an incredible asset to the German side since his arrival in January 2020.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian striker currently has a record of a goal in every start for Dortmund, scoring 49 goals in as many matches for the club.<\/p>\n

This strike rate has not gone unnoticed by the biggest clubs in European football, with the likes of Chelsea<\/a>, Manchester City<\/a> and Real Madrid<\/a> all being keen to sign the striker.<\/p>\n

Haaland’s Career<\/h3>\n

Haaland burst onto the scene aged only 19 at Dortmund, marking his debut with a hat-trick against FC Augsburg on January 18, 2020.<\/p>\n

Haaland carried this form on, scoring 44 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions for RB Salzburg then Dortmund.<\/p>\n

For comparison, before the age of 20, Lionel Messi had scored 32 goals and had eight assists, while Cristiano Ronaldo had amassed 20 goals and 24 assists.<\/p>\n

Before he turned 20, he had scored more goals than both Messi and Ronaldo combined, with 62 goals and had 17 assists.<\/p>\n

Dortmund managed to keep hold of Haaland this Summer, but it is likely that the star man will leave at the end of this campaign when a \u00a364 million release clause comes into his contract.<\/p>\n

Will a Big Club Come In?<\/h3>\n

ESPN<\/a> writer Mark Ogden has said that whoever is willing to trigger this release clause will also have to pay Haaland around \u00a3575,000 per week, so a deal would be worth \u00a330 million per year.<\/p>\n

Despite Haaland demanding \u00a330 million a year to leave Dortmund, the big dogs that have been looking to sign him have not been put off.<\/p>\n

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has openly said that he would love to get Haaland to Stamford Bridge, revealing this week that Chelsea are “talking regularly” about making a move for the Leeds-born striker.<\/p>\n

This week he said:<\/a> “We have talked about Haaland a couple of times also in the transfer window.<\/p>\n

“Of course we talk regularly because he is a fantastic player and a profile at Dortmund”.<\/p>\n
