Manchester City have received a boost in their bid for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
Bayern Munich ruled themselves out of the race to sign Haaland, so leaving City and Real Madrid to slug it out. The Blues are in pole position to land the 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker, but Spanish giants Real are refusing to give up, with Haaland available under the £64million terms of his release clause.
Bayern chief executive Oliver Kahn confirmed over the weekend that the money needed is beyond them. The package, with agent fees, is expected to rise closer to £100m.
"We wouldn't do our job properly if we didn't deal with a young striker like him," said Kahn.
"He has shown with the level of his performances at Dortmund that he is an excellent striker and a very interesting player for the future, but the Haaland package is far, far from what we imagined."
