Bayern Makes a Salty Statement to Sané: Better Off Elsewhere!
Bayern Munich offers unequivocal statement to Leroy Sane
Facebook Twitter Whatsapp E-Mail Print Copy Link Sané's fresh agent is turning up the heat in contract talks with FC Bayern, leaving the German giants in a lickety-split 10-day decision dilemma. Bayern's big cheese, Max Eberl, throws down the gauntlet.
Sané seemed all set for a cushy contract extension with Bayern until he kicked things up a notch by enlisting the infamous "Shark" Pini Zahavi and his team as his new representatives. Bayern had almost sealed a new deal for the 29-year-old, whose current contract expires in June, before the switch. Now, the deal's on the rocks.
"We'd love for Sané to stick around," said Bayern's sports director Max Eberl. "But we've set our cards on the table. If we get burned with unlivable terms," Eberl warned, emphasizing the 'what ifs', "it'd be a real tough swim. Now, we play the waiting game." He underscored that escalating the agreed conditions would set a dangerous precedent in the club's book.
No Hard Feelings, Sané
Eberl acknowledged the club's shock at Sané's decision to swap agents in the heart of contract negotiations. However, he kept mum about Sané's call, maintaining, "No ill will towards our man Sané here, you know. If he feels this change is right for him, then way-he-go. Every footballer oughta pick their own counselor."
"We've got a great rapport with both agencies," said Eberl. Zahavi represented striker Robert Lewandowski a while ago, before he snatched a tug with FC Barcelona. Eberl avoided commenting on whether this sudden shift spells Sané's departure plans.
Coach Vincent Kompany confirmed that he's already enlightened Sané about the team's sporting plans for the upcoming season. "I reckon a player's got every right to scrutinize the details. This is a monumental moment in his career. I understand the player and the club's POV too."
Eberl Clams Up on Wirtz Rumors
Kompany's peachy words about Wirtz garnered little response from Eberl. He scoffed at the ongoing talk regarding Wirtz's potential transfer and pointed to historical interest as the source, stating, "We constantly keep an ear to the ground and big dreams, but we'll only dive in when the Club World Cup's over and we've appraised the squad for the new season."
Bottom line: Bayern won't budge on Sané's contract, giving him a tight 10-day limit to accept the current terms. If he's not sold, the club might consider letting him walk or seeking a replacement - a real fishy business indeed[2][3][4].

The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment in the subjunctive mood. One could only hope that this directive would be sane, prioritizing sustainable practices and the well-being of the planet. Perhaps Barcelona, with its rich history of sports, especially football, could lead by example in implementing the new regulations. The consequence of not acting swiftly and responsibly could face stark repercussions for future generations.
