FC Bayern is planning the squad for next season and apparently Oliver Kahn is conducting initial negotiations with Mino Raiola regarding a possible transfer from Ryan Gravenberch – or is Haaland also a topic of talks?
Oliver Kahn in Monaco: As transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reports, the Bayern CEO met star advisor Mino Raiola there. One topic was obviously Ryan Gravenberch, who is supposed to strengthen Munich in the summer. According to Romano, Bayern are currently in contact with the player side to discuss an initial contract offer. Munich is said to have not yet submitted an offer to Ajax Amsterdam. In addition, the negotiations with the Gravenberch camp are said to have not yet progressed.
Are Kahn and Raiola also talking regarding Haaland?
Not only Barcelona. Also Manchester City director Txiki Begiristain had a meeting with Mino Raiola in February for Erling Haaland, while Real Madrid are still pushing. ???? #MCFC

Romano continues: “FC Bayern is not only in contact with Raiola because of Gravenberch. Let’s see which players were also part of the conversation, because we know that the situation with Lewandowski has not yet been resolved.” Raiola is also the advisor to BVB’s top striker Erling Haaland – might Bayern possibly force a transfer of the Norwegian?
Since the contract talks with Robert Lewandowski have not yet started, it is still unclear to what extent the two parties will come to a common denominator. So it might well be that Kahn also spoke to Raiola regarding Haaland in order to be prepared for the worst-case scenario, a Lewandowkski departure.
