Manchester City are making a serious pitch for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
Haaland will be one of the major targets for Europe's top clubs when a reported £68million release clause in his contract becomes active at the end of the season.
Real Madrid remain favourites in the race to convince the striker to leave Dortmund, as the Spanish giants hope to pair him up with Kylian Mbappe to form a huge strike partnership.
But now City's pursuit of a goalscorer means they are also weighing up a move for Haaland.
The Athletic says they will do all they can to tempt Haaland into a move to the Etihad Stadium, even though they are aware the Norway international has his eyes fixed on a Bernabeu move.
City aim to change Haaland's mind in the coming months, with his father, Alf-Inge, a former Sky Blues player.
