Manchester City boss pep Guardiola has refused to discuss the club's reported transfer target Erling Haaland.
Sportsmail revealed that City's pursuit of the Borussia Dortmund star had taken a significant step forward as the club agreed terms with the player's representatives.
It is understood that a suitable financial package - which would make Haaland the Premier League's highest-paid player on more than £500,000 a week - has been given the nod.
City are now expected to trigger the Norwegian's £63million release clause at the Bundesliga side with a potential five-year deal likely to be sealed in the next week or so.
