Metro UK reports City are expected to pay Haaland’s release clause at Borussia Dortmund which is in the region of £64.2m to land the prolific striker.

The Norwegian star has cemented his place as one of the most sought strikers in the world - thanks to his starring role at Dortmund since he joined them from RB Salzburg.

The youngster has already scored an incredible 85 goals in just 88 appearances for Dortmund since joining them back in January 2019.

His sensational form with the Bundesliga giants saw him court interest from a number of clubs including Barcelona, Man United, and Liverpool.

However, it now appears City have won the transfer battle for the Norway international, with reports suggesting he could complete his move to the blue side of Manchester in the coming days.
