Last week, the possibility of Erling Haaland moving to Manchester City was stronger than ever.
A report in the Mail on Friday broke the news that the Norway international had agreed to a move to the Etihad Stadium, with personal terms and agent fees discussed.
Several media outlets have since more or less confirmed the original report, with some adding that Haaland will likely stay at City for four to five seasons before moving to Real Madrid.
The Borussia Dortmund star has attracted some of Europe's elite with his consistent goals. In 79 games for Black and Yellow, Haaland scored 80 goals.
Debuting on the world stage at RB Salzburg, a move to the German giants certainly accelerated his personal development.
