Man City facing 6-week deadline to close Haaland deal

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.
