Time and time again, Bayern Munich is mentioned in the same conversation with Erling Haaland. And it’s not the Bavarians who are doing this. In fact, Bundesliga champions are constantly denying any idea of buying the Norwegian ace, who is bound to be the future star for years to come. After former Bayern CEO Karl Heinz Rummenigge denied the rumors that the club is interested in Haaland, current CEO Oliver Kahn also confirmed Bayern’s stance: the Norwegian is not of interest for the Bavarians.Chaos, boos and protests: Bayern’s General assembly exploded over Qatar AirwaysThe reason? Only one player can match with Haaland in the Bundesliga, and he also came from Borussia and will stay in Bayern: Robert Lewandowski. The goal scoring machine has been Bayern’s best player for years and will continue to do so for years to come, according to Kahn. And the fact that they have a 33-year old striker but don’t want to replace him for a 21-year old one doesn’t concern Kahn.„We have Robert Lewandowski. He’s still going to score 30-40 goals for a few more years” said former Bayern goalkeeper and shot down any possible rumors about Haaland’s transfer.Aufiderzen Haaland, Willkommen Adeyemi!Kahn also spoke about the (in) famous Bayern general assembly, and spoke about fans anger over Qatar Airways sponsorship.„The more time has passed since then, the more it bothers me that the evening has turned into a meeting with a single item on the agenda. We will fulfill the contract, and in the meantime we will keep an eye on how things develop. FC Bayern will use these developments then decide how to proceed” said Kahn to Sueddeutsche Zeitung.When Kingsley asks for $22 million per season, Kingsley gets $22 million per seasonBayern CEO also tried to convince the readers and club’s fans that Munich has to find sponsors who will invest in the club, since the gap between the Premier League and Bayern is getting bigger and bigger, but also advocates for chances in the financial aspect of football.”A few years ago the British were ten or 20 million euros ahead of us. Now it is many times that. In order not to let this gap become even bigger, we need cost control in football. We want there to be a containment of salaries, and it would also be desirable if the prices on the transfer market fall” said Kahn, who advocates an upper salary limit and clear limits for investors.
