Dortmund had stated that nothing has been agreed with any club for the player as negotiations continue with the Spanish club Real Madrid and French side Paris Saint-Germain.

There had been hopes that the youngster would extend his deal with Dortmund, but Man City have been quietly making underground moves as they are now closing in on the prolific scorer.

It is understood that manager Pep Guardiola is desperately interested in the striker as he believes Haaland will grow to make history in world football.

In March, Manchester City indicated their interest in Haaland who has become Europe’s hottest property and the terms have been discussed.

A salary of more than £500,000-a-week would see him earn more than the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, who pockets around £385,000.

If the deal goes through, Haaland could make his bow in City colours in the United States, with the club looking at crossing the Atlantic to play two friendlies in July.

Dortmund want Haaland to decide his future now

Meanwhile, Erling Haaland has been told to quickly decide on his future by Borussia Dortmund chiefs following speculations the Norwegian is about to leave the Bundesliga club.

Borussia Dortmund’s license director, Sebastian Kehl, has rubbished reports Haaland has signed an agreement to join Premier League side, Manchester City but disclosed the club is waiting on the striker to make a decision on his future.

Haaland however is free to walk away from his present contract with Dortmund if the price is right as the Norwegian has a gentleman’s agreement with the Bundesliga club.

Real Madrid still interested in Haaland

Sports Brief earlier reported that Spanish giants Real Madrid are considering a move for Erling Haaland as soon as the summer transfer window opens, having failed to land Kylian Mbappe.

It was gathered that the La Liga outfit suffered a setback in their chase for PSG star Mbappe who seems to be prepared to extend his contract with the Parisians.

Real Madrid made Mbappe their major target, but they seem to have turned to Haaland with the hope of beating Manchester City to the player’s signature.
