Borussia Dortmund begin their search for Erling Haaland's successor ahead of his expected £63m move to Manchester City by 'identifying Reims' Hugo Ekitike and Sparta Prague's Adam Hlozek as potential replacements for the outgoing striker this summer'

Borussia Dortmund have identified two potential replacements for Erling Haaland ahead of their star striker's proposed move to Manchester City, according to reports in Germany.

Haaland, 21, is poised to join City this summer after the Premier League champions agreed terms with his representatives last week.

Sportsmail understands the Norwegian sensation's team have given the nod to a mouthwatering financial package worth £500,000 per week, which would make him the English top flight's highest-paid player.

City are now expected to trigger his £63million release clause and finalise what is likely to be a five-year contract, meaning Dortmund have already began drawing up contingency plans.
