Chelsea have seen an opening bid for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland rejected - according to <a href="https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/bvb-transfer-news-fc-chelsea-bietet-abraham-und-hudson-odoi-fuer-haaland/12356288/33896?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;wkz=WXTSL1#Echobox=1626340379" target="_blank">Sky Germany</a>. The Blues offered to include&nbsp;Tammy Abraham or Callum Hudson-Odoi in a part-exchange deal, but BVB are determined to retain the services of a prized asset for at least one more year. Haaland has emerged as a priority target for Chelsea as they seek to add extra fire power to their ranks with a view to challenging for the Premier League title in 2021-22.

Kylian Mbappe remains Real Madrid's top target, but <a href="https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/fichajes-real-madrid-plan-b-ancelotti-no-fichan-mbappe-salah-20210714.html" target="_blank">Fichajes</a> says Mohamed Salah is an alternative option being considered by the Blancos. La Liga giants are eager to get another forward onto their books and could launch a raid on Liverpool if a World Cup winner cannot be lured away from Paris Saint-Germain.

Erling Haaland could be prised away from Borussia Dortmund if a £150 million ($207m) were to be tabled, claims <a href="https://talksport.com/football/912390/borussia-dortmund-price-erling-haaland-transfer-news-chelsea/" target="_blank">talkSPORT.</a> Chelsea are seeing a move for the prolific Norwegian striker mooted, but they are yet to put a big-money offer on the table.

Chelsea and Manchester United continue to be linked with the England international midfielder.

Chelsea have offered out-of-favour forward Tammy Abraham as a sweetener in a possible deal for Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland - but the German club have little interest, claims the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelseas-monster-erling-haaland-transfer-24537030" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. Abraham, 23, barely featured under Thomas Tuchel last season. However, the Blues still value him at £50 million ($69m/€58m) and think he should be viewed as a serious asset&nbsp;by other clubs.

England right-back&nbsp;Kieran Trippier is desperate to ditch Atletico Madrid for the Premier League, writes <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/07/14/kieran-trippier-desperate-premier-league-return-waits-manchester/?utm_content=football&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_campaign=Echobox&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1626278466" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>. Manchester United have already had a bid rejected, and at least two other rival clubs are said to be in the hunt. Trippier provided an assist in the Euro 2020 final against Italy and was a standout performer for Atletico Madrid in a title-winning domestic campaign.

Manchester City are monitoring the status of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski amid concerns they may not be able to pry Harry Kane away from Tottenham, writes the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9789091/Manchester-City-turn-attention-Bayern-Munichs-Robert-Lewandowski.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>. Lewandowski, 32,&nbsp;is five years older than Kane and would be seen as more of a short-term solution for Pep Guardiola's attack than the Spurs man. Given his age and a contract with just two years remaining on it, the Poland star would also likely be significantly less expensive.

Liverpool appear to have a "spending problem" as&nbsp;Premier League rivals line up big-money deals, says Markus Babbel, with the former Reds defender claiming that Jurgen Klopp is not "100 per cent sure there is a player" for him in the attacking department. Ibrahima Konate has already been added to the ranks at Anfield, with a £36 million ($50m) deal done for the French defender, but there has been no more movement on Merseyside. There has been plenty of speculation, as domestic foes prepare to splash the cash, but Babbel is not convinced that Klopp will be investing heavily in any supposed targets during the current window. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/klopp-not-sure-there-is-a-player-for-liverpool-babbel-sees/ig10rq0zejb41c6gy9ihcku49" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>
