Borussia Dortmund star undergoes Man City medicals, set to become top earner

Erling Haaland has had a physical with Manchester City ahead of a summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund.

On Monday, noted transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano verified this on his Twitter page.

He wrote: “Erling Haaland to Manchester City, here we go! Haaland has passed medical tests as a 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.”

Romano further reported that Haaland will be paid a weekly wage comparable to that of Kevin De Bruyne at the Etihad.

“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.

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