Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel returned to his comments on Erling Haaland. The technician had hinted that he was interested in the Norwegian striker, under contract with Borussia Dortmund.

Erling Haaland should be at the center of the news during the next one summer transfer window. As announced by 10Sport.com exclusively from August 25, the Norwegian international is the priority of PSG in the event of the departure of Kylian Mbappé . Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel also opened the door to an arrival of ’Haaland in an interview with Bild: “We talked about Haaland a number of times, even during the transfer window. It seemed unrealistic and impossible to complete. Of course, we talk about him regularly because he is a fantastic player and a profile at Dortmund, who is a big rival for us in the Champions League. Would it please me to have Lukaku and Haaland play together? I have no problem talking about it (smile). I don't think we're really that close to having it. But we'll see what will happen in the next few weeks ”.

“ I fell into a trap ”

But this Saturday, Thomas Tuchel reconsidered his remarks and made a point of clarifying the things on Haaland. “I fell into a trap. I received an award in Germany, a newspaper award. They gave me this award and asked me about a player. Normally I never, ever talk about other players, because I just never do. We didn't care more or less and I should have known. Because by wanting to laugh about it and joking about a duet with Romelu in October, it's like we've made an offer. That was the context, but I should have known it, “admitted the Chelsea coach in remarks reported by Goal.
