Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have reportedly decided to pursue rivals Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, with a view of the Norweigan becoming the heir to world-class veteran Robert Lewandowski’s throne.
That’s according to a recent report from AS, who claims the Bavarians are already working hard to secure a long-term replacement for Lewandowski.
The Polish striker is fast approaching 33-years-old, but despite his seemingly ageless ability, he won’t be able to play at the top of the game forever.
