Manchester City agree terms over £500,000-A-WEEK deal to sign Erling Haaland which would make him the Premier League's highest-paid player - with Pep Guardiola's side set to trigger the Borussia Dortmund striker's £63m release clause

Manchester City's pursuit of Erling Haaland has taken a significant step forward, with the club agreeing terms with the player's representatives.

Sportsmail understands that a suitable financial package - which would make Haaland the Premier League's highest-paid player on more than £500,000 a week - has been given the nod.

City are now expected to trigger the 21-year-old striker's £63million release clause at Borussia Dortmund and, if all goes according to plan, what is likely to be a five-year deal should be sealed in the next week or so.
