The Battle To Sign Erling Haaland In The Summer Is Now Down To Two Teams

The Norwegian goal machine has attracted interest from more or less every big club in Europe after developing into one of the deadliest strikers in the world.

Haaland's €20 million move to Dortmund was always going to be a stepping stone for his career and his stock has only risen after notching 80 goals in 79 games.

The former Red Bull Salzburg man is believed to be keen on a switch to Real, who have no problem paying the £30 million-per-year wage packet Haaland is likely to ask for.

But City are also deemed to be a "serious threat". Haaland's father Alf-Inge played for the club and there are images of him at games wearing City merchandise as a youngster.

The Premier League champions are on the hunt for a new striker to fill the void left by Sergio Aguero and the thought of Haaland under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola is frightening.

“All I want to do is play football. But they press me […] about my future, so that means I have to make a decision soon.”
