Dortmund cannot keep up financially with Man City in Haaland saga

Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke has claimed that any offer Manchester City submit for Erling Haaland would be unmatchable.

Pep Guardiola's side are reportedly ready to make the Norwegian the highest-paid player in England and as Sportsmail revealed earlier this month, the Premier League champions are frontrunners in the race for the 21-year-old star forward.

Personal terms have been discussed and it can now be disclosed that Haaland would become the Premier League's top earner, with a salary in excess of £500,000 a week.

Haaland is widely expected to leave Dortmund at the end of the season due to the £64million release clause included in his contract when joining from RB Salzburg in 2019.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are all also monitoring the situation.

But Watzke has given up with the rumours and admits they will just have to wait and see what comes of the ongoing saga.

'I've given up judging media rumours. Otherwise, my day would have to have 36 hours,' Watzke told Sport Bild.
