Haaland, 21, burst onto the scene with Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg in 2019 before sealing a move to Dortmund in early 2020.

In two-and-a-half seasons with the German club, the Norwegian striker has since scored 85 goals in just 88 games. Last season he was named the Bundesliga's Player of the Season.

The forward has also scored 15 goals in just 17 appearances for Norway, taking his total number of career goals for club and country to 169.

The Telegraph reports that City has paid an initial $63 million to release Haaland from his Dortmund contract.
