Football: Bayern were on the Haaland transfer until the end

They all secretly wanted him. The top clubs racked their brains about how to sign Erling Haaland (21). Funds were released, offers corrected upwards. Ultimately, Manchester City secured the main prize in Haaland Poker. The Norwegian is drawn to the island. A bitter loss for the Bundesliga, which already has hardly any superstars.

As is now known, FC Bayern Munich is said to have tried harder than previously assumed for the BVB striker. Transfer expert and Haaland insider Jan-Aage Fjörtoft (55) explains: “Real Madrid and Manchester City were very active. In the final phase, however, Bayern also tried just as desperately to sign Haaland,” the Norwegian told “Bild”.

Haaland rejection for Bayern twice as bitter

The “Bild” recently revealed that there was an hour-long meeting between Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (45) and Haaland in March. The Norwegian stayed in Munich for a few days because of a muscle injury.

Despite Brazzo’s great efforts, the goalgetter decided against the league Croesus. Twice as bitter for Bayern: On the one hand, a mega transfer slipped through their fingers and, on the other hand, star striker Robert Lewandowski (33) shook his head.

Epicenter in Munich?

There is always talk of a lack of appreciation. The Pole is reluctant to extend his working paper, which expires in 2023. Barcelona are said to be after the top goalscorer from the Bundesliga.

The transfer market has slowly but surely picked up speed, and the millions are pouring in. The next alternating earthquake should not be long in coming. Will the epicenter be on Säbener Strasse this time? (nab)
