Man City reportedly has a £100 million deal in place for Haaland. Despite connections to Barcelona and Real Madrid, the Norwegian star might be on his path to the Premier League.
The 21-year-old has a rumoured £63 million ($82 million) release clause that can be invoked in the summer, with most of Europe’s top teams vying for his signature in a transfer frenzy. The City is said to have negotiated personal terms with Haaland, and they are now hopeful of securing a deal to bring the Norwegian to the Premier League.
According to the report by Times Sport, a deal for up to £100 million ($130 million) is set to be signed, with the amount comprising his £63 million release clause as well as the payments made to his agent, Mino Raiola.
City’s primary rivals for Haaland’s signature are said to be Real Madrid, though The Mail believes that forward will ultimately prefer to transfer to England. Personal terms have already been ‘discussed,’ and ‘the framework of the deal is ready for City executives to sign off on.’
City, which has deemed Haaland their No. 1 transfer priority, is claimed to be unconcerned by the reported transfer prices. Dortmund, meanwhile, has indicated that they are committed to keeping Haaland, even though he is attracting a lot of interest and could go.
