Bayern Munich are reportedly confident that they can persuade Erling Braut Haaland to join the club in 2022, if he stays at Borussia Dortmund for one more season.
The 20-year-old is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe and has been heavily linked with several elite clubs including Premier League trio Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea as well as La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Haaland will be available for £65m when a release clause in his contract becomes active in June 2022, and according to the Daily Mail, Bayern believe they can lure the Norwegian to the Allianz Arena under those circumstances.

The Bundesliga champions will soon be on the lookout to replace talisman Robert Lewandowski, who turns 33 in August, and they view Haaland as the ideal successor to the Polish international.
Bayern have a history of recruiting top players from Dortmund, having previously signed Lewandowski as well as German pair Mats Hummels and Mario Gotze.
Haaland has made 34 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund so far this season, scoring a remarkable 33 goals and providing 10 assists.
