M. Babbelis: "Bayern" will not spend half a billion on E. Haaland © AP

Former Bayern Munich footballer Markus Babbel claims that the German champions will abandon plans to compete for Borussia Dortmund's talent Erling Haaland. According to the German, this decision will be based on the impending huge expenses. "There is no chance that the Norwegian will move to Bayern in the future. He would cost between 140 and 180 million euros, and the whole package would be insanely expensive. M. Raiola is not the cheapest agent in the world, he also wants huge money. If such expenses are taken into account, Erling would have to be the highest-paid player in the team. So, everything would cost around 500-600 million euros, and Bayern would not want to start such a project. The only country whose clubs could currently afford to buy Haaland is England," Babbel clarified.
