Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, the club announced on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old will move to the Etihad Stadium this summer and is set to become one of the highest-paid players at the club but sources told ESPN he will not top midfielder Kevin De Bruyne as their biggest earner on around £375,000-a-week.
