Manchester City face serious competition from Barcelona for Borussia Dortmund Erling Braut Haaland, according to a report.

Manchester City are reportedly facing serious competition from Barcelona for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland.

The Norway international is widely expected to leave BVB during this summer's transfer window, when a £67m release clause in his contract is due to become active.

Man City have allegedly emerged as the favourites to sign the 21-year-old, with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea no longer thought to be in the race.

Barcelona's financial problems had also seemingly ruled them out, but according to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan outfit have 'made it known' to Haaland's agent Mino Raiola that they remain interested in bringing him to Camp Nou.

The report claims that Man City 'had almost convinced' the youngster to move to the Etihad Stadium, but Xavi's side are very much still in the battle for his signature.

Barcelona are allegedly hopeful that the lure of playing for a team of Barcelona's ilk will convince the forward to reject Pep Guardiola's side in the upcoming market.

Haaland has scored 80 goals and registered 22 assists in 84 appearances for Dortmund since arriving from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020.
