There is no concrete agreement with Haaland at present and Dortmund don't want to do a deal with anyone this Winter.
City aren't going to talk themselves away from the bidding, but remain guarded and unimpressed with Mino and are absolutely sure he is trying to get him to Madrid.
We know all the related costs and they aren't the issue.
City and Pep refusing to be stalled much longer, as we do have people in January we can move on to.
I'm sure we can wait for Haaland, but only if we can nail down some sort of pre-contract agreement in Jan that can be announced.
