Manchester City must make Erling Haaland the highest-paid player in Premier League Erling Haaland to acquire the 20-year old to bolster their attack next season.

The Norwegian hitman would demand a wage in the region of 700,000 euros per week, which works out at something like 170 million over the course of a five-year contract, the Sun reports.

City are not the only team on Haaland's trail but he won't be going anywhere cheaply, with Borussia Dortmund looking for 180 million euros as a transfer fee.

Marca reveals that a deal worth 350 million euros for the striker who has scored 33 goals in 31 games this season is what Manchester City must be willing to offer.

Eye-popping numbers on all fronts for the player the Citizens are eyeing up as a replacement for Sergio Aguero, who has confirmed he will leave the club this summer.

The Argentine forward leaves behind quite a legacy, but Haaland, at 20-years-old and being tipped to dominate the game, along with Kylian Mbappe, for the next decade at least, could be a worthy heir.
