Bayern Munich rule out Erling Haaland move despite Guardiola meeting

Bayern Munich have ruled out a move for Erling Haaland, despite speculation linking the Manchester City striker with a transfer following the club's Premier League charges. German insider Christian Falk reported that Bayern are focused on extending Harry Kane's contract and cannot afford Haaland's wages, estimated at €35m annually. Bayern also held a secret meeting with former boss Pep Guardiola, but are waiting to see how City's legal proceedings develop. Falk noted Bayern admire Haaland but are satisfied with Kane, making a move unlikely even on a free transfer. The club is monitoring City's situation cautiously, given their strong relationship with Guardiola and the potential fallout from the Premier League case.
