The Blues have long
been linked with a swoop for the Norwegian striker, with reports suggesting
that he is a candidate for a summer arrival at Stamford Bridge.
However, any potential move
looks set to be costly with the 20-year-old having experienced a stark increase
in his transfer value in the last few months.
According to data presented by Safe
Betting Sites, Haaland’s value has increased by £18m in just three months – all
the way up to £92.5m, with some of Europe’s top clubs interested in signing the
prolific striker.
It ranks the former RB Salzburg hitman as the footballer with the
highest increase in the world in terms of value, leaving him above the likes of
Manchester City’s Phil Foden, Atletico Madrid’s Marcos Llorente and also
Juventus’ Federico Chiesa.
That sharp increase is no surprise considering Haaland’s form
throughout the 2020/21 campaign.
He has continued to harness his reputation on the European stage
having plundered 41 goals in as many games in all competitions throughout the
season.
He finished third in the Bundesliga scoring charts having only
been beaten by Andre Silva of Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich’s Robert
Lewandowski.
That form has seen Haaland be linked to a number of Europe’s
leading clubs including Chelsea.
Manchester United are also thought to be interested, while Real
Madrid have long been admirers of the striker.
Even before his transfer valuation increase, any move for Haaland
would certainly have been costly.
Meanwhile, Chelsea remain linked with a move for Tottenham
Hotspur’s Harry Kane with speculation continuing to build around the Premier
League golden boot winner.Borussia Dortmund are reportedly not keen to sell and
he still has three years left to run on his contract at the Signal Iduna Park.
