Bayern Munich can't afford Haaland 'auction' as Real Madrid circle for Borussia Dortmund striker

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admits it will be very difficult for the Bundesliga side to keep the prolific Norwegian in German football next year

Former Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the Bundesliga heavyweights will not be able to afford Erling Haaland, with an "auction" set to be sparked for one of the most sought-after talents on the planet.

The 21-year-old striker is currently with Borussia Dortmund, where a stunning return of 65 goals has been recorded in as many appearances.

Those exploits have Haaland registering on recruitment radars across Europe with Real Madrid and Manchester United said to be keen, and Rummenigge concedes Bayern are set to be priced out.
