Bayern Munich rules out Haaland pursuit; Barcelona eyes Jeltsch
Summary

Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen announced that the club will not pursue Erling Haaland, emphasizing their satisfaction with current striker Harry Kane. Dreesen noted the attacking lineup is strong enough without adding Haaland. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is reportedly interested in VfB Stuttgart center-back Finn Jeltsch as a defensive addition this January. With several clubs eyeing Jeltsch, his price could exceed €50 million, complicating Barcelona's pursuit given their financial constraints. Bayern Munich is also linked to 17-year-old Borussia Mönchengladbach talent Wael Mohya.
