Manchester City face a battle convincing Erling Haaland to shun La Liga for the Premier League.
Haaland, regarded as the best young striker in world football, appears destined to leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of this season once a reported €75million release clause is triggered.
The fee represents good value for a player who has plundered 27 goals in 22 appearances for club and country this term.
The Norwegian’s scored 55 times in 50 Bundesliga starts since joining Dortmund two years ago.
Real Madrid are City’s main rivals for the signature of Haaland, who looks primed to cement himself as the continent’s preeminent marksman over the next decade.
