Dortmund told Sport1: “The players have no training today and we allowed Erling to take care of personal matters.”

Sources in Germany say Dortmund are now aware that the English champions plan to activate the release clause in his contract.

Haaland, who has a £64million release clause and is expected to sign a five-year deal, is believed to have visited the Erasmus Hospital in Brussels on Monday for some tests connected to the move.

The Bundesliga club’s director Sebastian Kehl said at the weekend that he expects “clarity over the next week”.

And Haaland is believed to be happy with the financial package on offer at the Etihad.

SunSport understands these will fall in line with the wage structure currently in place.
