ERLING HAALAND will delay his move to Manchester City and the Premier League as Real Madrid eye up a move, according to reports.
The 21-year-old forward‘s £64million release clause is active, meaning he looks set to leave Borussia Dortmund for one of the European giants in the summer.
Earlier this month it was reported that the Norwegian had signed a deal with Man City to join them at the end of the season in a £100million transfer.
Pep Guardiola is thought to be extremely keen on bringing the striker to the Etihad.
But now, according to Marca, Haaland is prepared to delay a move to the Prem until later in his career.
And Real Madrid are ready to take advantage of that by offering Dortmund £109m for the striker.

They will also hand the player a six-year deal which, including the transfer, will make a deal worth nearly £300m.
Barcelona met with Haaland’s agent Mino Raiola but are not thought to have enticed the player or his representatives.
And this leaves Madrid in pole position to snap him up in the summer window.
However, it is key that they offload some of their expensive deadwood if they are to finance his signature.
