Manchester City and Erling Haaland have reached an agreement on a £500,000-per-week contract.
Manchester City's pursuit of Erling Haaland has advanced significantly, with the club reaching an agreement with the player's representatives.
Sportsmail knows that a suitable financial deal has been approved, making Haaland the Premier League's highest-paid player on more than £500,000 per week.
City are now set to activate the 21-year-old striker's £63 million release clause at Borussia Dortmund, and if all goes well, a five-year agreement could be completed within the next week or two.
Last week, Dortmund reiterated that nothing had been agreed upon and stated that they were pursuing a resolution with others in the hunt, including Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
There was a chance the player's contract might be extended for another year. City, on the other hand, has stayed quietly confident throughout the process and is now closing up on the prolific forward manager Pep Guardiola craves.
The Spaniard missing out on signing Harry Kane last summer, and despite winning the Premier League, City have looked short up front at times.
Haaland, who was born in Leeds and has previously played for Red Bull Salzburg and Molde, scored twice in Dortmund's 6-1 thrashing of Wolfsburg on Saturday, giving him 33 goals in 31 appearances for club and country this season.
Alf-Inge, his father, played for City and has been significantly involved in the negotiations.
This publication stated in March that City had a box seat for Haaland, who is regarded as Europe's hottest property, and that personal terms had been discussed.
A weekly salary of more over £500,000 would put him ahead of Kevin De Bruyne, who earns roughly £385,000.
If the move goes through, Haaland might make his debut for City in the United States, with the club planning a trip across the Atlantic to play two friendlies in July.
His native Norway, on the other hand, is in Nations League action four times in June, with their most recent encounter against rivals Sweden taking place on June 12.
