Erling Haaland agent 'demanded' Chelsea pay Erling Haaland £820,000-a-week wages
[31]
Chelsea's interest in signing Erling Haaland may well have ended after the striker's agent,
[38]
Mino Raiola, reportedly made a staggering demand on the forward's wages.
[46]
When the summer transfer window began, it was clear that adding a goalscorer to Thomas
[53]
Tuchel's squad was the top priority.
[56]
Tammy Abraham had fallen out of favour at Chelsea following Tuchel's arrival despite
[62]
impressing under Frank Lampard.
[64]
Kai Havertz and Timo Werner were the two who most often stepped in to play more centrally,
[73]
but the pair failed to find the net on a regular basis.
[78]
Chelsea's need for a striker instantly led to speculation of a move for Borussia Dortmund
[83]
star Haaland.
[84]
With the Norway international reportedly being available for just £68million next year due
[92]
to a release clause which can be activated, Dortmund would have been aware that a much
[99]
larger fee could have been attained this summer.
[104]
Raiola seemingly knew that as well as he began holding talks with clubs interested in signing
[118]
Haaland.
[120]
Chelsea appeared to be at the front of the queue though with Roman Abramovich keen to
[128]
back Tuchel following the club's Champions League triumph over Manchester City.
[135]
Talks were reportedly held between Chelsea and Raiola, but they may have ended very soon
[140]
after Haaland's wages were discussed.
[148]
According to Bild, Raiola wanted Chelsea to smash their wage structure by offering the
[154]
striker a deal worth £820,000-a-week (€960,000).
[171]
On top of that, Raiola wanted an eye-watering sum of £34.2m (€40m) in agent fees for
[182]
any transfer.
[184]
Chelsea's interest in any deal for Haaland may well have ended right there and then.
[191]
In contrast to the insane wage demands on a move for Haaland, Lukaku reportedly agreed
[197]
terms on a £212,000-a-week deal.
[203]
And the Belgium international hit the ground running on his second debut for Chelsea last
[210]
weekend.
[211]
He took just 14 minutes to get on the scoresheet against Arsenal as Chelsea romped to a comfortable
[219]
2-0 win.
[220]
The Blues have won both their opening Premier League games without conceding a goal.
[228]
But they face their toughest test of the season to date when they travel to Anfield on Saturday
[234]
to face Liverpool.
