Erling Haaland has admitted he felt sorry for Robert Lewandowski after Bayern Munich's failed attempts to land star striker Haaland as a replacement for the Pole.
The Norwegian hot-shot was on Bayern's radar earlier this year during his time at Borussia Dortmund, where he scored an incredible 86 goals in just 89 games.
The prolific 22-year-old impressed club chiefs so much by his Bundesliga performances that they tried to lure the new Manchester City striker to the Allianz Arena earlier this year.
European football's heavyweights such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United were also in for Haaland but the interest from the Bavarian outfit appeared to irk the Norwegian, who was targeted as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
