Chelsea is doing everything they can to build on their UEFA Champions League win last season. They have a squad that is good enough to win the premier league on paper, but their striker, Timo Werner, is a glaring weakness. Hence, they tried to sign their former player Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku has been Inter Milan’s best player under Antonio Conte and helped the club win its first Serie A title after ten years. His goals and assists were vital as the Italian club broke Juventus’s stronghold on the league. However, Milan has been struggling with financial problems this season. They have already sold their starting right-back Achraf Hakimi to PSG, with Lautaro Martinez soon to follow. Nevertheless, selling Romelu Lukaku is not in their plans. Chelsea made a bid of €100m, including Marcos Alonso, according to Fabrizio Romano, but Inter rejected the bid. The Inter board turned Chelsea’s bid down as they consider Lukaku to be untouchable and want to keep him. It’s a show of ambition from the club even after their financial issues. On the other hand, Chelsea is back to square one and has been thwarted by two different clubs now. Chelsea also tried to sign Norwegian wunderkind Erling Haaland after Dortmund refused to let their player go for less than €175m. It’s a lot of money for a player, but Haaland will definitely be worth it. The London club might yet be close to Haaland’s signing, but as of right now, nothing is clear [https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1470867/Chelsea-transfer-news-Erling-Haaland-Borussia-Dortmund-personal-terms] at the Bridge. ROMELU LUKAKU AND HIS INCREDIBLE FORM FOR CLUB AND COUNTRY The 28-year-old has turned the Italian top-flight upside down with his displays for Inter Milan. After joining the club from Manchester United via a big-money move, Lukaku has more than delivered on his transfer value. Lukaku’s 24 league goals and 11 assists were second only to Juventus’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Chelsea are in a spot of trouble as they need to find a new striker after their
bid for Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku was rejected.

The Chelsea football team is an English professional team that competes in the Premier League. It was first founded in 1905 and is based in Fulham City. It's one of the most successful clubs in English football history.

"The Blues", as they're commonly regarded by their fans, were first founded by Gus Mears. And they won their first major trophy back in 1955. However, their most successful period has taken place under the ownership of Roman Abramovich.

He took over Chelsea FC in 2003 and has since brought a plethora of trophies to the Stamford Bridge, their home stadium. In their history, Chelsea have won over thirty championships, including six league titles and five European trophies. Though five of the six league championships and three of the five European titles were won in the Abramovich Era.

Their most successful manager has been Jose Mourinho, who has won eight titles in his two stints at Stamford Bridge. Their current manager, Frank Lampard is regarded as their most legendary figure along with the likes of John Terry, Didier Drogba, David Webb, John Hollins, and Pat Nevin.

In 2016, Chelsea was ranked as the seventh most valuable football club in the world £1.15 billion, by Forbes magazine. As of 2016, Chelsea are ranked eighth in the Deloitte Football Money League with annual commercial revenue of £322.59 million.

Most recently, they won the UEFA Champions League under the leadership of manager Thomas Tuchel. They beat the Premier League champions Manchester City 1-0 in the final as Kai Havertz took the Blues to the promised land.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Erling Haaland: Net Worth 2024, Personal Life, Career, and Achievements</b></h2>
Erling Braut Haaland is one of the most feared strikers in the world. Born on 21 July 2000, the 23-year-old soccer player has turned the tide and become a prolific goal-scorer in the last few years. He plays for Norway's national team and English Premier League club Manchester City.

From today's generation, Erling Haaland is possibly one of the greatest soccer players ever to exist. The Norwegian striker can bang in goals from each and every angle. At every club, every season, Haaland has managed to keep up his goal-scoring form. The 23-year-old is currently at Manchester City in the English Premier League.

In his first season in the EPL itself, he scored the most goals in the league and went on to win it too! In such a short span of time, Haaland has turned from the Norwegian wonder kid to one of the best strikers in the world.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Erling Haaland's Net worth 2024, salary, and endorsements</h2>
As per Celebrity Net Worth, Erling Haaland's net worth is $40 million. Those earnings are set to reach $46 million with other bonuses and clauses. He receives another $12 million from off-field earnings. At the Etihad, the striker is only behind Kevin De Bruyne on the payroll list. His current salary at Manchester City is $474,952 per week which amounts to a base salary of $24 million. Other than that, he reportedly made an additional $4 million from his endorsement deals. Currently, he endorses brands like Samsung, Viaplay, and Hyperice.

But that value is expected to skyrocket in the near future. Already in March 2023, he signed a $24 million deal per year with Nike. While Adidas and Puma were eyeing his signature, the striker decided to continue his eight-year association with Nike. As his stock was on the rise, Nike was quick to realize the potential and latched him onto a contract.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Early life</h2>
On July 21, 2000, Erling Haaland was born to Alfie Haaland and Gry Marita. He has an elder brother, Astor Haaland, and a younger sister named Gabrielle Haaland.

Interestingly, he was born in Leeds as his father played for Leeds United at that time. But in 2004, his family moved back to Bryne in Norway. The lethal striker was a sports enthusiast from the very beginning. He enjoyed playing several sports like golf, handball, and many more. But as time passed, he discovered his passion for the beautiful game.

At the age of just five, he joined his local soccer academy in Bryne. After that, it was just onward and upwards for the soccer star!
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Erling Haaland's club career</h2>
Haaland first represented his hometown club Bryne in the 2015-16 season. Before making his senior debut, he played quite a while for the reserves. During that spell, he impressed the manager by scoring 18 goals in just 14 games. He made his actual debut on the senior team just months before his 16th birthday.

Eventually, the soccer universe got to know about the unbelievable talent hiding in Norway. Before going anywhere overseas, he played for Molde. That's where he met <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/football/premier-league-2019-20/manchester-united/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Manchester United</a> legend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He took some time off to adjust to the higher level. Haaland only scored 4 goals from 20 appearances during his first season.

But the lethal striker never looked back after that. He finished the 2018 season as the club's top-scorer with 16 goals. And that was it, his time playing local soccer had come to an end. Before the 2018 season, he signed a five-year deal with Red Bull Salzburg, in Austria. During his brief spell in Austria, the Norwegian lit the soccer universe on fire.

In just 27 games, he scored 5 hat tricks for the club. In the UEFA Champions League, he became only the second teenager after <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/karim-benzema/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Karim Benzema</a> to score in each of his first three appearances. He then became the first teenager to score in five consecutive games in the competition. <span style="font-weight: 400">At Salzburg, he made 27 appearances and scored 29 goals</span>. Shockingly, 28 of these goals came in only 22 games.

He then spent the next two-and-a-half seasons at Borussia Dortmund. In December 2019, the German soccer club signed him on a four-and-a-half-year deal. Before COVID hit the soccer universe, Haaland became the first player in Bundesliga history to score seven goals in their first three games. By the 2020-21 season had ended, he had scored 41 goals of which 27 were in the league.

The fans mass-voted him as the Bundesliga Player of the Season. His final season in Germany was heavily impacted by injuries. He suffered a hip flexor injury and couldn't play for a minimum of two months. He ended his tenure in Germany with 86 goals in 89 appearances.

Finally, he came to Manchester City. In May 2022, Manchester City announced the arrival of the lethal striker in England. He started his tenure in the Premier League with a bang. During his debut game, he banged in two goals against West Ham. After that, it was just MAYHEM!

Haaland broke Michael Owen's 48-league games record by scoring three hat tricks in just eight games. By December, he had already reached 25 Premier League goals. The Norwegian had easily surpassed the previous season's goal tallies of <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/mohamed-salah/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Mohamed Salah</a>Â and Son Heung-min.

In March, he became only the third-ever player to score five goals in a Champions League game. The other two areÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lionel-messi/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a> and Luiz Adriano. In April 2023, he scored his 50 goals of the season across all competitions. Currently, with just a game left in the UEFA Champions League, he has scored 52 goals in 52 games. In 71 games for the Cityzens, Haaland scored 69 goals.

During his first season in England, Haaland has already won the English Premier League and the FA Cup.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: left">Erling Haaland's journey with his national team Norway</h2>
Haaland represented Norway for the first time at the U15 level in September 2015. Years later, he scored nine goals in a single game against Honduras for the Norway U20s. Due to that performance, he won the Golden Boot at the U20 World Cup.

He then made his senior debut for Norway on August 28, 2019. Despite being eligible to represent England, the lethal striker's heart was always in Norway. During the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League B, he scored six goals in six games.

But his country, unfortunately, couldn't get through to the World Cup. Out of the ten qualifiers, the Norwegian played only six of them. Despite banging in goals, his country paid the price after winning just one game out of the final four qualifiers. In 28 games, Haaland scored 27 goals for Norway.

Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland: Net Worth 2024, Personal Life, Career, and Achievements Erling Braut Haaland is one of the most feared strikers in the world. Born on 21 July 2000, the 23-year-old soccer player has turned the tide and become a prolific goal-scorer in the last few years. He plays for Norway&#8217;s national team and English Premier League club Manchester City. From today&#8217;s generation, Erling Haaland is possibly one of the greatest soccer players ever to exist. The Norwegian striker can bang in goals from each and every angle. At every club, every season, Haaland has managed to keep up his goal-scoring form. The 23-year-old is currently at Manchester City in the English Premier League. In his first season in the EPL itself, he scored the most goals in the league and went on to win it too! In such a short span of time, Haaland has turned from the Norwegian wonder kid to one of the best strikers in the world. Soccer Football &#8211; Premier League &#8211; Manchester United v Manchester City &#8211; Old Trafford, Manchester, Britain &#8211; October 29, 2023 Manchester City&#8217;s Erling Braut Haaland during the warm up before the match REUTERS/Molly Darlington NO USE WITH UNAUTHORIZED AUDIO, VIDEO, DATA, FIXTURE LISTS, CLUB/LEAGUE LOGOS OR &#8216;LIVE&#8217; SERVICES.

Erling Haaland&#8217;s Net worth 2024, salary, and endorsements As per Celebrity Net Worth, Erling Haaland&#8217;s net worth is $40 million. Those earnings are set to reach $46 million with other bonuses and clauses. He receives another $12 million from off-field earnings. At the Etihad, the striker is only behind Kevin De Bruyne on the payroll list. His current salary at Manchester City is $474,952 per week which amounts to a base salary of $24 million. Other than that, he reportedly made an additional $4 million from his endorsement deals. Currently, he endorses brands like Samsung, Viaplay, and Hyperice. But that value is expected to skyrocket in the near future. Already in March 2023, he signed a $24 million deal per year with Nike. While Adidas and Puma were eyeing his signature, the striker decided to continue his eight-year association with Nike. As his stock was on the rise, Nike was quick to realize the potential and latched him onto a contract. Early life On July 21, 2000, Erling Haaland was born to Alfie Haaland and Gry Marita. He has an elder brother, Astor Haaland, and a younger sister named Gabrielle Haaland. Interestingly, he was born in Leeds as his father played for Leeds United at that time. But in 2004, his family moved back to Bryne in Norway. The lethal striker was a sports enthusiast from the very beginning. He enjoyed playing several sports like golf, handball, and many more. But as time passed, he discovered his passion for the beautiful game. At the age of just five, he joined his local soccer academy in Bryne. After that, it was just onward and upwards for the soccer star! Erling Haaland&#8217;s club career Haaland first represented his hometown club Bryne in the 2015-16 season. Before making his senior debut, he played quite a while for the reserves. During that spell, he impressed the manager by scoring 18 goals in just 14 games. He made his actual debut on the senior team just months before his 16th birthday. Eventually, the soccer universe got to know about the unbelievable talent hiding in Norway. Before going anywhere overseas, he played for Molde. That&#8217;s where he met Manchester United legend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He took some time off to adjust to the higher level. Haaland only scored 4 goals from 20 appearances during his first season. But the lethal striker never looked back after that. He finished the 2018 season as the club&#8217;s top-scorer with 16 goals. And that was it, his time playing local soccer had come to an end. Before the 2018 season, he signed a five-year deal with Red Bull Salzburg, in Austria. During his brief spell in Austria, the Norwegian lit the soccer universe on fire. In just 27 games, he scored 5 hat tricks for the club. In the UEFA Champions League, he became only the second teenager after Karim Benzema to score in each of his first three appearances. He then became the first teenager to score in five consecutive games in the competition. At Salzburg, he made 27 appearances and scored 29 goals. Shockingly, 28 of these goals came in only 22 games.

In December 2019, the German soccer club signed him on a four-and-a-half-year deal. Before COVID hit the soccer universe, Haaland became the first player in Bundesliga history to score seven goals in their first three games. By the 2020-21 season had ended, he had scored 41 goals of which 27 were in the league. The fans mass-voted him as the Bundesliga Player of the Season. His final season in Germany was heavily impacted by injuries. He suffered a hip flexor injury and couldn&#8217;t play for a minimum of two months. He ended his tenure in Germany with 86 goals in 89 appearances. Finally, he came to Manchester City. In May 2022, Manchester City announced the arrival of the lethal striker in England. He started his tenure in the Premier League with a bang. During his debut game, he banged in two goals against West Ham. After that, it was just MAYHEM! Haaland broke Michael Owen&#8217;s 48-league games record by scoring three hat tricks in just eight games. By December, he had already reached 25 Premier League goals. The Norwegian had easily surpassed the previous season&#8217;s goal tallies of Mohamed SalahÂ and Son Heung-min.
