Bayern Munich Chairman rules out Erling Haaland move

Bayern Munich Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has dismissed reports that his side are eyeing up a move for Norwegian striker Erling Haaland.

Bayern Munich currently own the world’s most prolific striker in Robert Lewandowski. The Poland international has scored 97 goals over the past two seasons, and could break the Bundesliga single-season record if he hits six more league goals this campaign.

However, Lewandowski is set to turn 33 in the summer, and a long-term replacement will be needed. Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland has been touted as his successor.

But Bavarians Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has played down the links to the 20-year-old, insisting that they are not looking to replace Lewandowski just yet.
