Haaland completes Man City Medicals in Belgium

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland has completed his Manchester City medical, according to reports, and the transfer is set to be confirmed this week.

City are reportedly set to trigger the Norway international’s €75m (£63m) release clause after seeing off competition from Real Madrid.

Dortmund confirmed to SPORT1 earlier on Monday that they had given Haaland permission to take care of “personal matters”.

“The players have no training today and we allowed Erling to take care of personal matters,” a club statement read.
Belgian outlets DH les Sports+ and Nieuwsblad.be reported that the 21-year-old travelled to Brussels, Belgium, early on Monday to undergo his City medical at the Erasmus Hospital.

Haaland is expected to sign a five-year contract believed to be worth £107m, including signing on bonuses, and the overall cost of the deal could total £213m.

Haaland is set to be one of the club’s top earners, although reports differ over whether he will be paid more than Kevin De Bruyne.

Haaland has scored 92 league goals in 121 appearances for Molde, Red Bull Salzburg and Dortmund in his career.
