Leroy Sané Takes the Field for Bayern at Club World Cup - Eberl: "Situation's a Head-Scratcher"
Bayern Fields Sane in Club World Cup Contest - Eberl Deems State of Affairs Odd - Bayern's footballer, Sané, competes in the World Cup.
Leroy Sané is set to don the FC Bayern Munich jersey at the Club World Cup, despite his impending transfer to Galatasaray Istanbul. The Rhine-Main region native, 51, expressed sincere bewilderment over the whole scenario, referring to it as "a head-scratcher for us all."
With the tournament's initial skirmishes through to the potential quarter-final, the versatile 29-year-old wing dynamo intends to partake for at least a couple of weeks. The original German champions' contract with the national team member terminates on June 30, 2025.
Eberl: Sané took the reins
Max Eberl explicitly declared that the proposed extension with Sané up to 2028 fell through due to fiscal constraints. However, no hard feelings were harbored as the English Premier League hopeful declined a revised contract offer in Munich. "He had the choice," Eberl asserted.
Galatasaray is reportedly ready to pay Sané an astronomical sum—a mind-blowing €9 million ($10.4 million) annual salary, along with a €3 million ($3.5 million) net loyalty bonus each season[1]. Bayern Munich's counteroffer was presumably less generous.
Eberl provided some insight into the negotiation debacle: "We lock horns over the contracts. Then the change of representation occurred." However, the previously agreed-upon numbers remain unaltered.
Although contractual talks reached an impasse, Sané's departure for Istanbul is imminent. The paperwork is expected to be completed by Friday, around the same time fellow recruits Harry Kane and Konrad Laimer will join the squad in Orlando[3]. The Stern des Südens will face Auckland City from New Zealand in the Club World Cup group stage on Sunday (6:00 PM CET).
