Bayern Munich's Leroy Sane makes crucial transfer choice, raising alarms at Arsenal
Leroy Sane's Bayern Munich Exit Stirs Arsenal Hopes
With the final weeks ticking away on his contract at Bayern Munich, Leroy Sane could be on the move, and Arsenal might be the destination. The 29-year-old winger has been strongly linked with a transfer to the Emirates Stadium.
Sane initially signed with Bayern in 2020 for approximately £54.8million after leaving Manchester City. Since then, he's garnered four Bundesliga titles, with the most recent victory against Bayer Leverkusen last Sunday. Despite his impressive goal contributions of 115 in 218 appearances, it appears his tenure at the German club is about to come to a close.
In a noteworthy move, Sane recently switched football agencies, signing with Gol International, led by Pini Zahavi. Known for guiding high-profile transfers, this shift has sparked speculation about a potential summer transfer for Sane.
According to European football expert Andy Brassell, this could open the door for Arsenal to secure a deal for the former City star. Brassell believes that Sane's change in representation could signal a return to the Premier League, with Arsenal being among the clubs interested.
The potential transfer becomes even more intriguing when considering Bayern's reported interest in Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz. Meanwhile, Sane's high salary expectations might be putting a strain on his current negotiations with Bayern.
If Bayern decides to lighten their wage bill to facilitate a move for Wirtz, Sane could find himself available for transfer at a lower cost. Bayern's recent re-signing of star players Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, and Jamal Musiala, coupled with the departure of Thomas Muller, might create the necessary financial wiggle room necessary for a deal.
The potential transfer wouldn't be out of the blue for Arsenal, as the club has shown interest in Sane in the past. Last summer, reports suggested that the Gunners were closely monitoring his contract situation at Bayern. Additionally, Sane has previously worked with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta during their time together at Manchester City.
With Raheem Sterling set to return to Chelsea after his loan spell, and Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard as the primary Arsenal wingers, a new addition to the squad could be on the horizon once the summer transfer window opens.
Insight: Leroy Sane's agent, Pini Zahavi, has a history of brokering high-profile transfers, such as Cristiano Ronaldo's move from Real Madrid to Juventus [1].
