According to new information, Manchester City are set to hold formal talks with Erling Haaland's representatives about a possible summer move to the Etihad Stadium.
Erling Haaland, who has emerged as one of the most lethal strikers in world football since moving to Germany, has long been linked with a move to Manchester City.
The Norwegian has been spotted at the Etihad Stadium on several occasions during his father's time at the club, fueling speculation about a move.
Furthermore, Pep Guardiola's team is in need of an heir to Sergio Agüero's throne, and there aren't many options.
Manchester City are set to 'hold talks' with Erling Haaland's representatives on January 23rd, according to transfer insider Zeeshan on Twitter.
It has also been reported that the Premier League champions are set to hold the 'first formal meeting' with the player, with Mino Raiola and Alf-Inge Haaland attempting to 'convince' the 21-year-old to join the Sky Blues.
Manchester City is said to be the "only English club" in negotiations with Haaland. Dortmund will not be informed about the future of the in-demand striker until March 2022, according to reports.
This news comes after the player publicly admitted that the German club is 'pressuring' him to make an immediate decision about his future.
To add to the speculation, the Spanish outlet AS recently reported that Pep Guardiola has 'insisted' on club officials making a 'decisive effort' to sign the hottest property in European football for next season.
If the Catalan manager's wish is granted in the summer, the addition of Erling Haaland to the current Manchester City squad would make it a frightening proposition for the rest of their rivals.
