The star striker is reportedly set to be available for a bargain €75m, which is around £64m, however that could go up to €85m (£71m).

The German publication adds that the Norway international is set for a €200m (£168m) wage bill as well as a €30m (£25m) signing on fee.

Finally, there is the matter of the agent fees and the 21-year-old's representative Mino Raiola is looking at a €50m (£42m) pay day.

The staggering total led to Dortmund's chief advisor and club legend Matthias Sammer claiming that he passed out.

Sammer told Amazon Prime: “The numbers – I had whiplash! I have passed out…"

City pose as favourites to land Haaland in the summer transfer window but Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Juventus have also been linked.

However, SunSport understand the Norwegian talisman is expected to ask for a release clause to be written into his contract if he moves this summer.

Raiola is likely to request a knockdown clause be inserted on his asking price, similar to the current one at Dortmund, if he does move to a new club.

Spanish teams tend to insert release clauses into the contracts of their star signings.

But it is a practice less common in England.
