Real Madrid are still firmly in the running for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland, according to a report.

Real Madrid are reportedly still firmly in the running for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland despite Manchester City leading the race at this moment in time.

The Norway international is expected to soon decide his future, with a £67m release clause in his Dortmund contract due to become active when the summer transfer window opens.

Barcelona have been strongly linked with the striker, but it appears that the Catalan giants are no longer in the race due to the finances needed to complete the deal.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Man City 'are doing their best' to sign Haaland, with the Premier League champions emerging as the favourites for his signature.

However, Romano claims that Real Madrid are still in the argument, with Carlo Ancelotti's team determined to bring him to Bernabeu for the 2022-23 campaign.

The 21-year-old has had his injury problems this season but has still enjoyed another impressive goalscoring campaign, finding the back of the net on 23 occasions in 25 appearances.

Despite the relatively low cost of the buy-out fee in Haaland's contract, the deal could allegedly ultimately cost as much as £300m, including agent fees and player wages.
