According to the Silver Screen Beat, Erling Haaland told his closest friends that he made a decision about his future before the summer transfer window.
It is not good news for Manchester City and Manchester United, as he has made Spain his next destination.
Real Madrid or Barcelona are the frontrunners to sign Borussia Dortmund star, while Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich are also in serious consideration.
Pep Guardiola is now in a difficult position. He has made Guardiola his top transfer target and made a striker his priority.
Which City could you sign instead?

City was desperate to sign Kane this summer, and it was mutually beneficial after Kane went on strike to push for a move.
Daniel Levy was firm in his stance and denied Guardiola his transfer request. However, another window of speculation may have proved too tempting for the Spurs chief.
Kane has not been at his best in front of goal. This speculation is a factor as Kane will be 29 in July.
City would benefit greatly from having England’s captain at the front. With him as the leader, City will likely dominate the Premier League.

Guardiola might be interested in a replacement for Sergio Aguero, so why not visit the club that signed him?
The Atletico Madrid star has hardly lived up to his £120m price tag but there is no denying the talent the Portugal international has.
While scoring goals in La Liga has proved tough for the 22-year-old, Felix’s link-up play might interest Guardiola more than anything.
The former Benfica ace is also able to operate across the entire frontline, another key attribute in the Catalan coach’s City set-up.
Dusan Vlahovic
What can you do if you aren’t the 21-year old hotshot everyone is talking? You must go after the next 21 year-old hotshot everyone is talking.
Fiorentina star Vlahovic was in jaw-dropping form at the Viola this season after his meteoric rise to fame. He scored 18 points across all competitions – one more than Haaland.
The Serie A club will sell their striker this summer. He informed them that he doesn’t intend to renew his contract which expires in 18 month.
Arsenal want to sign the youngster, but City could offer more wages and European football while still delivering a significant blow to the Gunners.
