Hitzfeld explains how Haaland will become a Bayern Munich target as transfer talk rages

Those at the Allianz Arena have history when it comes to luring top talent away from domestic rivals.

Haaland will already be on their radar, as transfer talk rages around him heading towards another window, but an extended stay with BVB is being mooted for the prolific 20-year-old as he continues to weigh up his options.
