The 75 million euro release clause in Erling Haaland's contract will be triggered by Manchester City if they want to sign him.
Haaland has a release clause that means that he will leave this summer, and that means that he will be gone from the team this year.
The Red Bull Salzburg player is set to replace the Norwegian in the game.
After the departure of Sergio Aguero at the end of the 2020/21 campaign, City have often played without a recognised forward this season.
Harry Kane, who is enjoying a fine run of form under Antonio Conte in north London, was wanted by City to join them last summer, but they turned him down.
Haaland joined the German side from Salzburg in January 2020 and has gone on to score a remarkable 82 goals in 85 games.
The 21-year-old has missed a number of games with injury this season, but he has still scored 25 goals in 26 games to help the team to second place in the Bundesliga.

It was reported last year that Manchester United was interested in Haaland, and that they had met the release clause in his Salzburg contract.
During his time as United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said that he followed Erling closely and that the club sent representatives to watch him.
Real Madrid has been the most serious competition for Haaland during his time at the club, but they are the priority this summer because Kylian Mbappe will be a free agent when his Paris Saint-Germain contract ends.
Even though some people close to him have advised him to stay in Paris, he still wants to move to Madrid, despite the fact that the French club is willing to do whatever it takes to convince him to sign a new contract.
It will make it more likely that the French club will try to sign the Polish player.

Is it possible that Haaland and Mbappe could dominate world football the way Lionel Messi and Portugal'sRonaldo have done for the past decade and a half? Gary is not sure.
The former Manchester United defender said that he didn't think Haaland and Mbappe could get near the levels of Messi andRonaldo.
Two young players who are incredibly talented are Haaland and Mbappe. They can become the best in the world and achieve great things, but we shouldn't think that every new, young superstar will take over from Messi andRonaldo, who are the kind of players you'd be lucky to see once every 80 years.

Players like these aren't produced every decade.
The world-class players who were sensational in my time, but not as great as they were, were not Messi andRonaldo, who are on another planet.
