Haaland has scored 85 goals in 88 matches for Dortmund since joining from RB Salzburg in January 2020.
Pep Guardiola’s side has been leading the race to sign the 21-year-old and his release clause means Borussia Dortmund are resigned to losing the striker this summer.
The 75m euro fee – which equivalent to £62m – for Haaland is widely considered to be below market value.
Asked about the club’s interest in the Norway striker on Tuesday, Guardiola responded: “Everybody knows the situation.
“Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City have told me I am not allowed to say anything until the deal is completely done. I cannot talk, I am sorry. We will have time to talk.”
City have often played without a recognized striker this season following the exit of club-record goalscorer Sergio Aguero at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.
