Erling Braut Haaland 'still wants La Liga move ahead of Man City'

Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland reportedly still favours a switch to La Liga over a move to Manchester City.

The 21-year-old is understood to possess a £63m release clause in his Dortmund contract which will become active in the summer, with an intense scramble for his services set to commence at the end of the season.

A recent report claimed that Man City were closing in on Haaland's signature, with Pep Guardiola's side viewing the Norway international as an ideal successor to Sergio Aguero.

However, Sport claims that Haaland is still vying for a move to La Liga with either Barcelona or Real Madrid, and no agreement has been reached with Man City.

The report adds that Paris Saint-Germain is no longer a realistic option for Haaland, and he could inform Dortmund of his decision on his future by the end of this month.

Haaland has struck 23 goals during 21 games of an injury-hit 2021-22 season and was fit enough to play 27 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 Bundesliga win over Arminia Bielefeld.
