Sport Italia: Chelsea desperate to sign new striker with €130m budget set aside

Chelsea appear no closer to concluding the striker saga, and at the moment, they are yet to even make any real moves to sign one.

There has of course been the strong reported interest in Erling Haaland and Romelu Lukaku, but if there have been any negotiations on these they would have been behind the scenes as nothing has come out as of yet.

Haaland has always seemed very tough to pull off simply because of Dortmund’s stronghold, unless Chelsea pay a huge fee.

Sport Italia say though, that Chelsea are ‘desperate’ to sign a new striker this transfer window and they have a 130m Euros budget set aside to sign him.
