Bayern Munich's firm stance on Sane contract extension
Bayern Munich delivers unequivocal statement to Leroy Sané
It seems football star Leroy Sane's future with FC Bayern is hanging in the balance. Despite being on the cusp of agreeing to extend his contract, Sane's recent decision to hire notorious agent Pini Zahavi has turned the tables.
Bayern's sports director Max Eberl spoke candidly, expressing the team's desire to continue with Sane but setting clear boundaries. Eberl made it clear that any increase in agreed conditions would be an unlikely scenario, as it could set a harmful precedent for future negotiations.
Despite change in representation, no hard feelings from Eberl
Eberl admitted that the team was taken aback by Sane's decision to switch agents, but he refrained from criticizing the player. "We have no ill will towards Leroy," he stated, emphasizing each footballer's right to choose their representation.
The agency shifts are nothing new in the world of football, as Bayern has a history with both Sane's old and new agencies. Eberl highlighted the team's positive relationships with both parties, expressing optimism that they can maintain open lines of communication despite the complexities of the current negotiation process.
Coach Kompany: Understanding the player's decision
Coach Vincent Kompany confirmed that he's had a constructive conversation with Sane about the club's sports plans for the upcoming season. Kompany acknowledged the importance of this phase in Sane's career and expressed understanding for both the player and the club's perspectives.
Eberl stays tight-lipped on Florian Wirtz rumors
When quizzed about potential talks surrounding Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, Eberl chose to stay mum on the rumor mill swirling around the young offensive player. He remained focused on the task at hand, vowing to carry on with the job and carefully consider the squad composition for the Club World Cup and the upcoming season.
