Man City are reportedly leading the chase to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland in either January or next summer.
According to Bild, the German giants will set an asking price of €75m (£64m) for Haaland in 2022, with Man City ‘in pole position to sign the Norwegian striker.

Indeed, whilst Ferran Torres has impressed in the striker role for City this season, a natural centre-forward is needed for Pep Guardiola’s side. And Haaland appears to be the club’s top target over the next 12 months.
