Haaland will join City on a permanent deal from Borussia Dortmund on July 1st.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano: “City will pay €60m [not €75m] release clause to BVB, plus commission to be added.

“His salary will be worth £375,000/week, same level as de Bruyne. Medical has been already completed.”

The club said in a statement: “Manchester City can confirm we have reached an agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of striker Erling Haaland to the Club on 1st July 2022.

“The transfer remains subject to the Club finalising terms with the player.”

Earlier today City boss Pep Guardiola refused to answer questions about Haaland at a press conference, saying: “Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City have told me I am not allowed to say anything until the deal is completely done.

“I cannot talk, I am sorry. We will have time to talk.”
