Bayern Munich is not busy behind the scenes with bringing in Erling Braut Haaland, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge assures. The chairman of the Bundesliga leader is of the opinion that trainer Hansi Flick with Robert Lewandowski already has the best option for the striker position. Haaland has been one of the most coveted players on the European transfer market for some time because of his top form at Borussia Dortmund.
“To be honest, I don’t know where these rumors come from,” Rummenigge said in a response on Wednesday BILD. “I can only say one thing about this: We already have the best player in the world at our disposal for that position. Robert Lewandowski has a contract with us that runs until 2023. And if I look at his professionalism, the way he trains. and keeping his body in top condition, then I am convinced that the end of his career is far from in sight “, the now 32-year-old Lewandowski receives as a compliment from the Bayern driver.
“As I said: with Robert Lewandowski, we have the best football player in the world,” Rummenigge repeats his message once again. “He is well on his way to breaking Gerd Müller’s record of 40 goals in a Bundesliga season and he is really at the best stage of his career.” Lewandowski is currently on 35 goals this season in the Bundesliga. Due to a knee injury, there will be no more hits in the coming weeks. In Germany eight more rounds are scheduled. In the battle for the top scorer title, the Polish top scorer is far ahead of Haaland and André Silva, who both managed to find the net 21 times.
Meanwhile, Haaland is mentioned almost daily at other clubs. According to various Spanish media, Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is particularly charmed by the Norwegian sensation, while Josep Guardiola sees him as the ideal successor to Sergio Agüero at Manchester City. Dortmund does not want to let Haaland go without a fight, because according to ESPN the asking price for the top striker is currently 180 million euros.
