There has been quite a bit of chatter lately about Leroy Sane potentially leaving Bayern Munich to join either Manchester United or Arsenal. However, it seems that Bayern is not willing to let go of their star winger in the upcoming January transfer window. Sane, who joined Bayern in 2020 after a £45 million move from Manchester City, is currently in his fifth season with the German club.
Although there have been signs of Sane returning to his top form this season with three goals in ten games, there is growing uncertainty about his long-term future at the Allianz Arena. According to Sky Deutschland, Sane's contract with Bayern is set to expire in 2025 and there is a sense of urgency for the club to reach an agreement with the 28-year-old German international.
All parties involved are optimistic about coming to an extension, but at the moment, a deal is not yet in sight. Bayern is hoping to lower Sane's salary by €2-4 million, as they are looking to cut costs. Currently, Sane earns up to €20 million per season, including performance bonuses. However, he is not the only player at risk of having their wages reduced, as several other key members of the squad, such as Joshua Kimmich and Manuel Neuer, are also facing difficult conversations.
Despite the ongoing negotiations, a January transfer for Sane can be ruled out at this point, according to the report. However, the pressure is mounting on Bayern as the likelihood of Sane leaving on a free transfer next summer is increasing. This has caught the attention of Manchester United and Arsenal, who have been closely monitoring the situation and are ready to make a move if Bayern changes their stance in the coming weeks.
In April, Sane addressed the media and stated that he was not worried about his contract situation at the moment, as his representatives are in contact with Bayern and discussions will likely intensify in the next few weeks. Since returning to Germany four years ago, Sane has won seven trophies with Bayern, including three Bundesliga titles and the Club World Cup.
During his time at Manchester City, Sane scored 39 goals in 135 games and played a crucial role in helping the team win two Premier League titles, three Carabao Cups, and the FA Cup. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Sane, but one thing is for sure, both Manchester United and Arsenal will be keeping a close eye on the developments as they look to bolster their squads.
