Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland has reportedly rejected Manchester City's first approach, according to reports.
The Blues have made the Norwegian their top priority for bolstering their striking options after failing in their efforts to sign Harry Kane last summer. Following Sergio Aguero's exit, City have been forced to play with a false-nine in their front three — something Pep Guardiola deployed during his successful tenure with Barcelona.
They face stern competition to sign Haaland, who has fired his way to becoming one of the most feared attackers in Europe following his emergence at RB Salzburg. La Liga giants Real Madrid are also said to be heavily interested in the Dortmund striker as they weigh up their options, amid interest in signing PSG attacker Kylian Mbappe as well.
