The transfer race for in-demand striker Erling Haaland has been blown wide open with Chelsea concerned over a deal and Real Madrid’s latest stance.

Last month, the Norwegian striker claimed that Borussia Dortmund were pushing him into making a decision on his future amid speculation that he may be on the move this summer.

Barcelona in December held a meeting with the player’s agent Mino Raiola while Dortmund recently confirmed that Real Madrid are among those who are interested in signing the Norwegian.

The Norwegian fuelled speculation of a transfer to La Liga in January as he confirmed that he would like to play in Spain during his career.

Barca president Joan Laporta’s reported confidence on signing the striker has sparked off what has been described as a ‘war’ between the club and El Clasico rivals Madrid.

A host of top European clubs will be monitoring the Norwegian’s situation including Manchester United and Manchester City, while German champions Bayern Munich will also be keeping tabs on his future.

A report from the Evening Standard claims that Chelsea – one of the potential frontrunners in any deal – have put the brakes on any interest.

There is said to be concern from some at Stamford Bridge that Haaland may not adapt to the Premier League nor have the same impact that he has enjoyed in the Bundesliga.

That comes less than a year
