Manchester City are facing a deadline to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland before his buyout clause jumps.
BILD says striker's £64million release clause must be activated by April 30.
That means all clubs bidding to sign him must register their intention by then – while the Norwegian must also notify his current club of his intention to leave.
Sources in Germany suggest he will make his plans clear before the end of March.
A move to the Etihad is becoming increasingly likely while Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have all been keeping tabs on the 21-year-old's situation.
However City are pushing hardest and should know in just over six weeks if they have been successful.
