Barcelona have admitted that they may not be able to compete financially to sign Erling Haaland.
Manchester City are in pole position to sign Haaland in the summer, with recent reports suggesting a deal to sign the Borussia Dortmund striker is close. Some reports have claimed City have agreed terms with Haaland, while others suggest they are close to signing him.
MEN Sport understand talk of a deal being set is premature. However, City executives are believed to have met with Haaland’s representatives last month to thrash out a deal, leading to increased hope that the deal will be done.
