In the wake of Chelsea’s interest in Erling Braut Haaland, Borussia Dortmund has ruled out trading him this summer.

The Blues, has not made an official proposal for the striker, who turns 21 on July 21.

Thomas Tuchel, the Chelsea manager, is a big fan of Haaland, who has 20 goals in 16 Champions League appearances for Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund, making him one of Europe’s most wanted players.

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has been keeping an eye on the issue.

Following the departure of Sergio Aguero, the club’s all-time leading scorer, who joined Barcelona on a free transfer, he is hoping to recruit a striker this summer.
