Oliver Kahn reveals Bayern Munich went to their ‘financial limits’ to try and sign Erling Haaland before he joined Man City… and decided not to break their wage structure to secure the record-breaking forward

Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has revealed that his side did all they could to sign Erling Haaland last summer.

The race to sign the forward was hot last year when it emerged he was going to leave Borussia Dortmund, and he eventually ended up joining Manchester City for an initial £51.2million.

He’s gone onto have a record-breaking season in his first year in England, already breaking the record for the most goals scored in a Premier League season and is helping City challenge for the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League.
