Manchester City have now agreed on terms with Erling Haaland representatives and are ready to pay his £63 million release clause ahead of next season.

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland transfer rumours have been doing rounds for quite some time now and if, recent reports are to be believed the Norwegian striker has finally chosen his next destination. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona have all shown interest in signing the striker however one side has beaten all these teams to secure his signature. The team we are talking about is Manchester City as reports have emerged of them finally landing the hottest prospect in European football.

Erling Haaland has had an outstanding career with Germany's Bundesliga side Borrusia Dortmund and a tweet from The Athletic UK states that Haaland's move to Manchester City is a done deal with the announcement likely to be made this week. According to report by si.com, English giants have now agreed on terms with their transfer target's representatives and are ready to pay his £63 million release clause ahead of next season.

Personal terms have been agreed on a five-year basic £350,000-a-week contract and they have now agreed to trigger his £64million release clause with the striker's current club Borussia Dortmund.

The Premier League leaders have been chasing the striking sensation, one of Europe's hottest properties, for around 18 months. But City decided to wait for Haaland this summer after plans to sign Harry Kane hit the buffers last summer.

And Guardiola's insistence that they could manage without a recognised striker has been partially vindicated this season with City in pole position to land the Premier League title. Adding the Norway international to the squad is expected by City's bosses to take the club to the next level, namely, to challenge once again for the Champions League.

Haaland, who was born in Leeds, has scored 85 goals in 88 appearances and could slot in at the upper end of City's wage structure with just Kevin de Bruyne ahead of him in earnings. His father Alf-Inge Haaland is also expected to net a multi-million-pound windfall from the deal as an advisor.
