Bayern president plays down Haaland move amid City uncertainty

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer dismissed speculation that Erling Haaland could be a target if Manchester City were to face relegation. Speaking to BILD, Hainer stated that Bayern Munich has Kane, Olise, Diaz and more, and scored over 120 goals last season. This gave him confidence that the team is well-equipped in attack.

He reaffirmed that the club currently does not need to bolster its forward line, composed of Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz. However, Hainer did not rule out the possibility of strengthening the line in the longer term. He acknowledged that severe sanctions, including relegation, are under discussion pending any appeal.
