A home win over second-placed Dortmund at Munich’s Allianz Arena will secure a tenth straight Bundesliga title for Bayern with three games left.
Lewandowski can also lift the Bundesliga trophy for the tenth time - in each of his eight seasons at Bayern, plus twice with former club Dortmund, whom he left 6 in 2014.
Haaland, 21, and Lewandowski, 33, have played key roles in the last six showdowns - all won by Bayern - with Lewandowski netting eight goals compared to Haaland’s five.
They are “two absolute world stars who outshine all the others” in the Bundesliga, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke told Sport Bild, and are “the most popular abroad”.
The pair appeared recently in a English-language television advert for the Bundesliga playing a dense game of poker.
A different kind of deal is reportedly already in place between Haaland and Manchester City, where the Norwegian star could earn around £500,000 ($652,000) per week next season.
It would make him the Premier League’s highest earner if City trigger a release clause for 75 million euros in his contract.
