Chelsea and Manchester United are readying offers for Erling Haaland, according to reports.

The Borussia Dortmund striker is expected to seek pastures new next summer, when a release clause will make him available for around £66m.

Haaland and his agent Mino Raiola want a package worth £30m per year to sign for another club.

That is the equivalent of about £577,000 per week and would make the former Red Bull Salzburg striker one of the highest-paid footballers on the planet.

Thomas Tuchel admitted that the Blues are talking about the Norwegian "regularly", and the German side did not take kindly to those comments, Bild writes.

However, the existence of a release clause in Haaland's deal means Dortmund do not have much control over where he ends up.

Tuchel's remarks will therefore have little impact on the youngster's future, as Haaland continues to weigh up his next move.
