Bayern's Firm Stand on Leroy Sané's Contract: No More Deals Offered After Agent Switch
Bayern Munich issues a straight-forward message to Leroy Sane
Things have taken a turn for Leroy Sané's contract extension at FC Bayern Munich. Close to signing the renewal with the German football giant, the 29-year-old recently switched agents to the infamous "Piranha" Pini Zahavi - now negotiation tactics have changed.
Bayern sport director Max Eberl expressed his desire to keep the national player, stating, "We'd be overjoyed to continue with Leroy, but we've established a limit. If the conditions aren't met, things get tricky." Leroy's new agents have been demanding a better deal, which, if granted, might set a harmful precedent, according to Eberl.
No Hard Feelings from Eberl towards Sané
Despite the unexpected switch, Bayern's bigwig emphasized a lack of animosity toward Sané. He viewed the decision as necessary for the player. "Every footballer is entitled to their own advisors; there's no bad blood."
Zahavi has also represented striker Robert Lewandowski, joining the Bayern team a few years ago before moving on to FC Barcelona. Eberl refrained from speculating about Sané's potential departure.
Head coach Vincent Kompany confirmed a positive conversation with Sané regarding the team's sports plans for the upcoming season. "I'm aware that a player may have doubts and wants a thorough examination. It's a significant juncture in his professional life, and I get it."
Eberl's Defense on Florian Wirtz Rumors
When probed about speculated Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz's potential transfer, Eberl dodged the question, stating that he wasn't tracking the reports and would focus on their tasks at hand. "We'll manage our business, evaluate options, and strategize. We'll see what we can do and work hard to realize our plans."
Contract Negotiations in a Nutshell
Leroy Sané was initially on track to pen a fresh three-year contract with an approximate salary reduction of €5 million annually, potentially raising it to €10 million with performance-based perks[2]. However, Sané's decision to hire Zahavi has brought forward further demands, including a hefty signing fee similar to Alphonso Davies' (around €20 million)[1].
Bayern has responded with an ultimatum: accept the current terms within 10 days or consider playing elsewhere[4][5]. The club's reluctance to revise Sané's offer seems strategic, as they aim to bring in fresh talent, such as Florian Wirtz, while maintaining financial discipline.
