Manchester City are lagging behind Real Madrid in the pursuit of Erling Haaland, according to the latest reports.
Haaland is of course one of the hottest properties in world football right now, with Europe’s top clubs looking set to battle it out for his signature in the summer.
The 21-year-old is widely expected to move on from Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season, with a €75million coming into effect during the summer which will no doubt spark a bidding war.
Manchester United are already said to have pulled out of the running due to Madrid being favourites for Haaland’s signature, and City look to be facing an uphill battle against the Spanish giants as well.
