Manchester City 'lead the race' for Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland this summer, according to reports.
On Saturday, the Manchester Evening News reported that the Blues are still cautious about the signing of the Norwegian international, but they are undoubtedly in pole position to secure his signature. Since the departure of the club's all-time highest goalscorer Sergio Agüero, City have been in the market to replace the Argentine with a clinical No.9 but were unsuccessful in their summer pursuit of Harry Kane.
It seems like Haaland is City's prime target, and reports linking him to the Etihad Stadium have grew even stronger over the weekend. Goal have reported that the Premier League champions 'lead the race' to sign the 21-year-old, with it hoped a decision on his future will be made soon. Haaland's £63 million release clause is set to become active in the summer.
