In recent weeks, Bayern Munich's offices have been under pressure. The renewal of several key players like Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, and Jamal Musiala has captured attention.
Although he is a key piece, Leroy Sané's renewal hadn't been a priority. However, his situation is changing, and after several rumors about his possible departure, the German forward's future could be at stake.
Bayern Focused on Other Renewals
Max Eberl, Bayern's sporting director, has prioritized the renewal of young players to build a competitive team for the future. With Manuel Neuer, 38 years old, and Alphonso Davies, 24, renewed, the next on the list is Joshua Kimmich, 30 years old. The renewals of these players have been prioritized, while Sané's situation has been put on the back burner.
This oversight by Bayern's sporting management opened the door to rumors about a possible departure for Sané. Since his arrival in 2020 from Manchester City for 50 million euros, Sané's performance hasn't been as expected. Despite his talent, his inconsistency has fueled speculation about his future.
Barcelona Shows Interest
FC Barcelona, always alert to transfer opportunities, has set its sights on Leroy Sané. The "culés" consider that the German could be a key piece in their future project, especially after the departure of several important players in recent years. Sané, with his speed and ability to disrupt matches, would fit perfectly into Hansi Flick's scheme.
Despite his irregular performance in Munich, Barça trusts that Sané could offer high performance in La Liga. Negotiations with Bayern are crucial, as the player's contract expires at the end of this season. If he doesn't renew, he could arrive for free in the summer, making his signing more attractive for teams like Barcelona.
Sané's Decision
Faced with this situation, Leroy Sané has made an important decision and communicated it to Julian Nagelsmann, Bayern's coach, according to Kicker. The player has decided to open a series of conversations with the club to discuss his future.
"I'm going to listen to offers, but I also know that I want to be in a place where I can feel valued," Sané explained to his coach. This stance allows for renewal with Bayern or departure if the conditions aren't as expected.
FC Barcelona, being aware of this situation, remains alert, ready to seize any opportunity. Although his performance hasn't been brilliant, Sané's quality remains indisputable. If the player doesn't reach an agreement with Bayern, Barcelona could become his ideal destination.
