How Borussia Dortmund could line-up next season with three Chelsea stars targeted in transfers… but NO Erling Haaland
BORUSSIA DORTMUND are reportedly eyeing moves for three Chelsea stars amid the uncertain future surrounding superstar Erling Haaland.
Haaland's prolific goal scoring record has attracted interest from a host of top European clubs.
The 21-year-old has incredibly scored 70 goals and provided 19 assists in 69 games for BVB since joining in January 2020.
Haaland is believed to have a £64million release clause, which will undoubtedly spark fighting amongst his potential suitors next summer.
Dortmund, however, have identified three Blues stars they'd like to bring to Germany as they prepare for potential life after Haaland.
According to , Dortmund are interested in bringing Timo Werner back to the Bundesliga.
Werner could be a good direct replacement should Haaland choose to leave.
The German international has struggled in front of goal at times for the Blues, missing some absolute howlers.

Werner has also had goals in the double digits ruled out for offside during his time at Chelsea.
However he was prolific during his time in Germany with RB Leipzig.
Dortmund also like Chelsea academy product Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has struggled to nail down a first-team place.
Hudson-Odoi has attracted interest from European clubs before with Dortmund and Bayern Munich tracking his situation at Chelsea.
Dortmund would also be interested in re-signing Christian Pulisic, who signed for Chelsea for a fee just above £50m.
Should all three join the Bundesliga outfit, they'll be pushing for starting spots.
Hudson-Odoi's versatility could see him play more as a right wing-back if Dortmund opt for a three-back system.
Or if they shape up with four at the back, the Chelsea trio could form a formidable frontline.
