“Situation not yet understood”
Haaland rumors stunned Kahn
No, FC Bayern will probably not buy Erling Haaland in the summer. Just the thought of it causes the designated Bayern boss to shake his head. In another prominent personality, on the other hand, there is movement, but apparently not enough.
Bayern board member Oliver Kahn wants to set a deadline for national soccer player Niklas Süle in terms of contract negotiations. “That is quite conceivable,” said Kahn of “Sport Bild”. The contract of the 25-year-old defender expires in 2022, the former Hoffenheim has made no secret of the fact that he is also interested in the sporting perspective of the German record champions.
“You have to see what package we as FC Bayern can offer a player. The club is economically stable. FC Bayern has an excellent squad that can win all titles. Add this wonderful city! You have to do that in Europe once. What more do you want as a player? “, said Kahn. After surviving an injury break, Süle was recently back in the Bayern squad. He could make his comeback in the Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg on Saturday.
Kahn ruled out a transfer from Dortmund’s star striker Erling Haaland to Munich in the interview. “Sorry, anyone who talks about it has still not understood the situation. A package that costs more than 100 million euros is currently unthinkable for Bayern,” said the former national goalkeeper. The designated successor to Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge cannot imagine transfers of this magnitude by his club due to the financial situation caused by the corona crisis.
In addition, Robert Lewandowski has a top striker, said the 51-year-old Kahn. “Robert still has a two-year contract here and his performance is beyond question. He currently has 39 Bundesliga goals! That alone doesn’t mean we have to worry about Haaland today,” said Kahn. Lewandowski could maintain this level for a few more years, Kahn praised the 32-year-old Pole.
