Erling Haaland will move to the Premier League this summer if leaves Borussia Dortmund, according to former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel.
The Reds are one of a number of sides who continue to be linked with the Norway international, with the 20-year-old's future remaining the subject of speculation following another prolific season in the Bundesliga which has seen him fire home 39 goals from just 40 appearances.
Bayern Munich have signed a number of stars from Dortmund in recent years, with the German giants often signing the top talent from their domestic rivals throughout the Bundesliga.
But Babbel, who played for Bayern prior to signing for Liverpool in 2000, insists the German outfit will not be able to afford Haaland with him suggesting such a deal will cost up to €600m.
"The only country that can buy Haaland at the moment is England, they have a different kind of money," he insisted to Goal, in association with Euro 2020 betting platform Unikrn.
"There is no chance that Bayern could get him because you would have to spend between €140m and €180m. Bayern can't do it.
"The whole package is too expensive. Raiola, he is not the cheapest agent in the world, he wants to have good money as well. If you pay so much money, he has to be the best-paid player in the squad.
"The whole package is like €500-600m and Bayern is not in the situation at the moment to do it.
"Bayern is so happy with Robert Lewandowski. Haaland is a massive talent but there are 12 years in between and Lewandowski has more experience and is still 100 per cent fit. He knows the club, he knows the pressure and he can handle it.
"I can't believe that Bayern would change Lewandowski with Haaland."
