Mats Hummels warns Erling Haaland that 'the grass is not always greener' amid Man City's £64m interest and insists his team-mate would be better served staying at Dortmund

Mats Hummels has told Erling Haaland that 'the grass is not always greener on the other side' as the Borussia Dortmund veteran claimed his Norwegian team-mate would be better served staying put with BVB.

The Bundesliga outfit held onto their star man last summer amid interest from a host of clubs across the continent, including Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

City have already been linked with a swoop for the 21-year-old next summer, when his £64million exit clause kicks in, amid reports that attention has turned to Haaland after failing to sign Harry Kane last summer.
