He wrote: “Erling Haaland to Manchester City, here we go! Haaland has passed medical tests as new Man City player today, he’s back in Dortmund. It will be official this week.

“Man City told BVB board that they will activate release clause [closer to €60m than €75m] in few hours.

“Haaland wanted the announcement to be this week to say farewell to B. Dortmund fans in the best way, as they’ve been great to him.

“Despite rumours, Erling Haaland’s salary agreed with Manchester City won’t go beyond the level agreed with Kevin De Bruyne, now worth around £375,000 per week.

“He will sign with Man City until June 2027 – so he’s not gonna break City salary structure,” Romano stated.

The Norway striker has scored 85 goals in 88 matches for Dortmund since joining from RB Salzburg in January 2020.
