It seems that Borussia Dortmund will not be selling Haaland this season, last week Chelsea's official offer of 130 million euros was rejected and the club believes that he deserves 150 million and still needs it even if he had to sell it next summer for 75 million euros.
Dortmund will lose a lot of money next season, not selling Halland this season means more betting on what he will offer next season and perhaps a decline in the player's financial shares.
Ivery much understand the position of Dortmund management by rejecting the offers made, everyone knows the difference between watching and not watching Dortmund in The Champions League with Halland and his goals.
They can make up for money through big sales since his arrival, tickets and sponsorship and even high viewership, especially from Scandinavian lands.
Today or tomorrow Halland will leave, Dortmund does not stop producing and in my opinion will remain a nourishing club for influential clubs financial. But it will remain that team that does not stop at one player, regardless of his weight.
They abandoned the Japanese Kagawa after winning the league, and abandoned Gotze and Lewandowski when they reached the Champions League final. Dortmund has a new coach with a new way of playing and clear ideas. All of this can theoretically win the league title or even compete for it for the last rounds.

Jack Grealish is doing the medical check - if this is passed successfully, JG will move from aston villa to man city for €100 mio

Like Manchester did with Pogba.

Anyway, this seems to be a real deal. They are already preparing the following deals if the deal will be done.

The problem with Werner isn't that he didn't adapt, his problem is that he can play as a striker in some teams (mostly counterattacking ones) but can't in a team that is trying to create chances through possession as well. Most of what he played for Chelsea was as a winger/left sided option, Lukaku (or another striker) will be brought not to replace Werner but to play as that focal point alongside him.

They really do need a striker, a good one would bring them a level higher and they are smart to use their CL win to get the best one they currently can.

Funny how Chelsea had Lukaku, sold Lukaku and then wants to buy him back again.  I don’t think I’ve seen something like this happen before.    But really now, wouldn’t it just be better to go for a cheaper but decent player and let Werner be first choice striker?  Give him another year to adjust ffs.  Some players don’t adapt in their first year with a new club.

It is true that Simone Inzaghi may like to retain Lukaku however Inter are in a deep financial crisis thus needed funds thus if Chelsea brings a better offer they would have no option than to accept it once personal terms agreement has been reached between the player and Chelsea, its a pity that Inter the winner of last season scudetto might struggle this season to defend their league title after the departure of Conte and if Lukaku is eventually sold whereas other Seria A clubs are boosting their clubs with new players

Inter still needs to pay Lukaku... If Inter was in another country it would be penalized with a default.
They won a title with players never paid like Hakimi and Lukaku.

It wasn't just a big loss when Lukaku left Inter, because currently Inter are under the leadership of a new coach who needs a player like Lukaku. Simone Inzaghi may find it difficult to improve Inter's position when Serie A returns to Allegri and Mourinho. Then, now many have doubted Simone's capacity as Inter coach, although with lazio, he is not so bad.

If Inter loses Lukaku it is going to be bad because of several reasons: they will lose appeal internationally, they will have no time to find a decent substitute for Rom, the team will lose confidence and the fans are going to get very angry at the presidency. Chelsea's offer is hug (considering the Italian Football market average) but Inter will not going to spend that money wisely enough in a short amount of time.

Well, if this interest becomes a transfer, then IMHO both Hauge and Eintracht Frankfurt will benefit. Hauge is a very young, very talented player, a great prospect. Eintracht is a club that gives space for talented players to show their skills.

Why, is there someone that have doubts that Lukaku is one of the top10 strikers?
From my point of view, there is nothing to prove to no one. The only thing for sure it's that if he signs for Chelsea (I can't see Inter refusing such a bid) he will make his wallet a lot thicker than already is...

Atalanta is chasing Juventus' Turkish central defender Merih Demiral. They will loan him for one season and future fee will be 30 million Euro. It's a good deal for both sides. Juventus bought him for 19 million Euro from Sassuolo with big expectation but he couldn't fully meet those expectations. Juve will make profit by selling him for higher price. At this stage of his career he better go on loan and play 90 minutes for all league games rather than waiting in Juve bench.
Atalanta is selling Cristian Romero to Tottenham Hotspur for around 50 million Euro so they replace him with a similar player but they also get 20 million Euro profit. Very good deal for Atalanta as well.

According to the latest report by Fernando Polo and Roger Torello, Tottenham consider the Brazilian one of their transfer priorities. This step, however, depends on Kane's future: if the Englishman leaves for Manchester City, the Spurs will propose to the Brazilian.

In the end, Chelsea are working to convince Inter Milan to sell Romelu Lukaku and a deal could be closed this weekend. The Blues want Lukaku back (he landed at the Blues in 2011 from Anderlecht) and tried to convince the Nerazzurri with a €105 million offer plus Marcos Alonso.
Sky Sport reports that Inter expect to receive a new offer in the coming days, with the Londoners preparing a new bid worth 120-130 million euros for the 28-year-old.
Final word to make the deal is that of the player: will he accept?

Hauge is a great young talent and I think it would be a great move for Frankfurt and for the player as well. Last season Hauge didn't find much playing minutes under AC Milan. This loan would be a good opportunity to develop himself as a player step by step. Bundesliga is a good league for young players to develop so I think Hauge to Bundesliga is a great move.

There are rumours that Grealish to City will be completed today for 100m Euro.

the german magazine kicker.de reports, among other things, on two other interesting signings...

To be honest, I feel like Inter will accept the Lukaku offer. Maybe they are fishing for 10 million more but they are in debt, selling Lukaku would take care of all their problems and they'd be able to bring another player in who would act as cover for Lautaro.

From all the strikers Chelsea was connected with as a Liverpool fan I'm least worried about Lukaku. He's a machine, yes, but isn't really good in linkup play and with his back against the goal. With Havertz and Werner in the team, a player like Haaland or Kane would bring much more to their offensive game.

According to Fabrizio (the transfer maestro) Chelsea are serious about signing Lukaku this summer, and they have bid 100m + Alonso for him which Inter Milan refused and turned over. Now Chelsea are preparing a 130m bid for him with a salary of 12m+ per year and I think neither Inter or Lukaku will refuse the offer

1. Inter Milan are in debt, owing Manchester United transfer fees for Lukaku,  and must send Manchester United sel on fees too
2. Lukaku gets a big wage cap and another opportunity to show the word he is too 10 strikers in the world

Do you know how much money Real Madrid has offered for Haaland? Chelsea had already offered Abraham and the 100m, but Dortmund turned it down. Is Real Madrid ready to spend more than 100m? Although they really need a young player like Haaland, because the condition of their team is not very good now. Such a player is very much needed to stabilize the team.

If Chelsea is serious about this bid, they should make it. Romalu Lukaku will be a great addition to Chelsea, and this club is aching to sign him, which would be a great deal for them. His physicality will certainly cause a lot of issues for any defenders. Having Thomas Tuchel in charge makes me think Lukaku will do well.

Right now it has come to my head that Haaland can go to Real Madrid, apart from Real Madrid has a very good relationship with Borusia Dortmund and apparently the Club needs some money, many are speculating that the Club if it leaves Haaland it will not have the same performance and that they are saving Haaland for the highest bidder, and the highest bidder despite all the economic problems worldwide is Real Madrid, since it is a very solvent Club and I think they want to make many changes at the level of players, I think they want to ensure the League, for now Barcelona has Messi who is a winning guarantee, Real Madrid does not want to be left behind.
 Does anyone think like me?
