Chelsea must break their wage ceiling to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
The Athletic says if a deal does get over the line in the current transfer window Haaland would likely become the top earner at Stamford Bridge.
N'Golo Kante currently holds that title with his reported £290,000-a-week deal.
But Haaland's representatives - agent Mino Raiola and dad Alf-Inge - will be doing all they can to secure the striker the best deal possible.
Raiola has already suggested he wants the Norwegian to be the first £1million-a-week footballer - and would earn a hefty fee in commission.
Chelsea will need to stump up at least £150m to tempt Dortmund to sell Haaland.
