UEFA Champions League
Chelsea is closely monitoring the situation of Manchester City and the possible sanction they could face in the short term, as they aim to sign Erling Haaland. Chelsea's goal for the next transfer market is to add a world-class star.
According to 90min, the board of Stamford Bridge is becoming a viable destination for the Norwegian striker if the Premier League disciplinary ruling leads to his departure from the Etihad Stadium after the club's guilt was confirmed in 114 out of 115 financial charges.

Erling Haaland's figures and the impact of sanctions in Manchester
The 26-year-old striker has scored 64 goals in 56 matches for the Norwegian national team and has a contract with City until 2034. His current market value on Transfermarkt is 220.00 million euros, which limits the number of financially solvent suitors in Europe.
Chelsea's board believes that a potential sanction, such as points deduction or relegation, would compel Manchester City to negotiate the transfer of their main offensive asset to adjust their wage bill.
European competition led by Bayern Munich, PSG, and Real Madrid
In addition to Chelsea's surveillance, interest from Arsenal in the Premier League and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga adds to the mix. Likewise, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid are staying informed regarding the regulatory process to determine if they will make formal offers.
Executives at Chelsea trust that their budget capacity will allow them to directly compete for the signing should the Norwegian international decide to terminate his contract or request a transfer. The Premier League panel will announce Manchester City's sanctions in the last quarter of 2026.
Once Manchester City's sanction is known, Chelsea will engage in discussions with Erling Haaland's representatives to try to convince him to become the main offensive reference in their project.
