Manchester City looked to have clinched the gold medal in the race for Erling Haaland.
The 21-year-old is on course to link up with Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium next season, with reports suggesting that the Citizens have struck a deal to make Haaland the Premier League's highest-paid player, pocketing £500,000 per week.
The Borussia Dortmund striker has been one of world football's most sought-after stars for the past two years, with Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain linked with interest, as agent Mino Raiola touted his client around the globe. But the Mail now claim that City have earned his signature, ready to pay his bargain £68million release clause.
