Bayern Makes a Clear Stand on Sané's Contract Extension: "Limit's Been Reached"
Bayern Munich issues unequivocal statement to Leroy Sané
Get ready for some hot football gossip! With Leroy Sané's contract with FC Bayern expiring this summer, things are heating up in Munich. You think his new agent hiring might've smoothed things over? Oh, dear reader, think again!
Bayern's sports director, Max Eberl, has dropped a bombshell. In a recent interview, he declared that despite Leroy being a key player for the team, Bayern isn't willing to shell out more dough for his services. In fact, they've already set a limit, and if Sané wants more, well, it's gonna be a long, hard wait for both sides.
"We really want Leroy to stick around," said Eberl, "But if it comes down to exceeding our limit, it'd be a real challenge. We're just gonna have to see how things unfold." He emphasized that if they budged on the agreed terms, it would set a dangerous precedent.
No Hard Feelings, Just A Business Decision
Eberl explained that the club was taken aback by Sané's decision to switch agents at this point in the negotiation process. But he made it clear that they harbor no personal ill-will towards their prized player. "Every athlete has the right to choose their representation, after all," he shrugged.
Eberl also reassured that the club maintains good relationships with both Sané's old and new agencies. "We've always been transparent, starting from day one," he said, hinting that Pini Zahavi, the notorious "Piranha," handles Sané's case now, just like he did for Robert Lewandowski a few years ago, before the Polish striker headed to Barcelona.
Kompany’sicipative Stand on Sané's Future
Coach Vincent Kompany said he's already had a heart-to-heart with Sané about the team's football plans for the upcoming season. "I understand that everyone wants to explore their options," said Kompany, "But we've shared our vision and given Leroy plenty of time to mull it over. I have faith he'll make a decision that's best for his career."
Defensive Eberl on Wirtz's Rumors
When asked about potential transfer talks for Leverkusen's standout player, Florian Wirtz, Eberl politely brushed off the topic. "I don't really pay attention to the reports floating around," he said, "But you can bet our team is always on the lookout for top-tier talent to bolster our roster."
That's all the tea for now, folks! Stay tuned for more juicy football updates as the Sané saga unfolds.
