Bayern Munich will reportedly join the race to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland if they sell Robert Lewandowski.
The 33-year-old has netted 11 times in nine games for Bayern this season, strengthening the argument that he remains one of European football's top strikers.
However, at a time when the Poland international has less than two years remaining on his contract, he is known to be open to taking on a new challenge.
According to Bild, Haaland has been identified as a potential replacement for the veteran should Bayern choose to do business next summer.
With Haaland said to have a £64m release clause in his contract, Bayern could theoretically find a long-term alternative to Lewandowski without a large net spend.
Nevertheless, the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid are also thought to be ready to make a bid for the Norwegian in 2022.
