Guillem Balague reports that Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all spoken to Erling Haaland and are waiting for a decision on his future in the next 10 days.
The 21-year-old can leave for 63.2 million dollars this summer if the release clause in his contract is not met.
None of the three clubs know what will happen.
A move for the club was linked but now they are out of the picture.
The offers are similar according to the expert. None of the clubs wanted it to be about money, so they accepted what was asked of them. The choice is not about money.
The clubs presented their projects, how they are going to play, how they will use him, and everybody who is in those clubs has been involved in those discussions.
If he stays at Dortmund, he will stay for another year and then go to Madrid or Barcelona, because he wants to go to La Liga.
Real Madrid are his number one choice, but City are playing on the fact that there is Kylian Mbappe almost certainly arriving in the summer and that Karim Benzema is still doing well. They say that Barcelona aren't in a position to challenge for all the titles at the moment.
The timing and circumstances play in City's favor.
The way City approached it was to say that you can have Real Madrid in the future if you have a few years here.
There was a question put from the Haaland camp to Manchester City, and the answer was that he will think about staying longer - his contract runs out in 2023. City are trying to convince him to stay another year.
Haaland has scored 23 goals in 22 games for the German club this season, and he joined the club in January 2020.
