Haaland has become one of the best strikers in the world since joining Dortmund from RB Salzburg in early 2020. During his stay at Signal Iduna Park, the 21-year-old found the back of the net a staggering 82 times out of 85 games. He also has 23 assists.
Few players cost more than Haaland – but he has a clause in his contract that will allow him to continue this summer for just £ 63 million. And European power plants are now circling.
According to The Star, City held a secret meeting with Haaland, his father Alfe-Inge and his superagent Mino Raiola. And during the meeting, the bosses presented the financial conditions they are ready to offer to the player.

“Everyone says City needs a striker,” the 61-year-old said as he presented the BBC’s coverage of the FA Cup. “They went to Harry Kane last season, they will go to Haaland this season – so it looks like the club and Pep agree.”
And Alan Shearer backed City to make the deal after seeing Gabriel Jesus miss a chance to blame Liverpool. “When you get to this stage of the season and play such important games, those small chances make all the difference,” Shearer added. “World-class strikers are taking advantage of these opportunities. That’s why he [Guardiola] he wanted Harry Kane – that’s why he wants Haaland and he’ll probably get it. “
