Manchester City will reportedly turn their attention to signing Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland next summer, as the striker's £75m release clause will be active.

Manchester City have reportedly turned their attention to signing Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland next summer.

It is no secret that Pep Guardiola has been keen to recruit a new striker since Sergio Aguero's departure, and pursued Harry Kane this summer before the England captain confirmed he was staying at Tottenham Hotspur.

Gabriel Jesus is the only senior recognised centre-forward at the Etihad Stadium, while Ferran Torres has started upfront in Man City's first three Premier League games.

The Manchester Evening News states that the club are now focusing on signing Haaland in 12 months' time.

Borussia Dortmund have refused to sell the striker this summer, but the decision could soon be out of their hands when his reported £75m release clause becomes active.

The report states that Man City could be in pole position to sign Haaland, as many of their rivals will not have the desire or the funds to get him.

The 21-year-old has scored 63 goals in 64 appearances for Dortmund since arriving in January 2020.
