video of how Dortmund turn down Chelsea player plus cash Haaland proposal
Dortmund have turned down Chelsea's informal player-plus-cash proposal for striker Erling Haaland, according to Sky in Germany.
Chelsea are understood to have been willing to offer Dortmund either Tammy Abraham or Callum Hudson-Odoi in part exchange for Haaland, but the Bundesliga side are determined to hold onto the 20-year-old.
The Blues are keen to sign a new striker this summer after struggling in front of goal at times last season.
Despite winning the Champions League, Thomas Tuchel's side lacked a reliable presence in the penalty area, with Timo Werner and Abraham's 12 goals each making them the club's joint-top scorers.
However, Sky Sports News has been told by someone close to Hudson-Odoi that the winger "will not be part of any swap deal involving Haaland".
The 20-year-old is said to have a "fantastic relationship" with Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel and sees his long-term future at the club, even if that means fighting for his place in the first team during the upcoming season.
