Manchester City have reached an agreement in principle to sign Erling Haaland this summer.

The Premier League champions have won the race for the Borussia Dortmund striker, who will move to the Etihad Stadium on July 1.

Haaland will cost Pep Guardiola's side £64m after City triggered the release clause in his contract.

A club statement read: "Manchester City can confirm we have reached an agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of striker Erling Haaland to the Club on 1st July 2022.

"The transfer remains subject to the Club finalising terms with the player."
