Leroy Sané Shocks Bayern with Galatasaray Move - Eberl: "A Peculiar Predicament"
Bayern's Sané Participates in Club World Cup - Eberl Finds Scenario Perplexing - Bayern's squad, led by player Sané, competes in the World Cup tournament.
Here's a lowdown on Leroy Sané's surprising choice to join Galatasaray Istanbul over Bayern Munich, despite a lucrative contract extension offer from the latter.
A curious predicament indeed for Bayern, as sporting director Max Eberl confirms Sané's participation in the Club World Cup, slated to take place in Orlando, despite his recent transfer to Galatasaray.
Sané yearns to be part of the competition, at least until a potential quarter-final, with his contract ending on June 30 with Bayern Munich, the perennial German champions.
Eberl: Sané Had the Chance
Eberl, speaking in America, clarified the failure to extend Sané's contract past 2028, largely due to financial constraints. Yet, they bear no ill-will towards the winger for rejecting the new contract deal in Munich. "He had the choice."
The Turkish giant Galatasaray offers Sané a staggering net salary of nine million euros per season until 2028, with an additional three million euros in loyalty bonuses per season. A sum that Bayern seemingly couldn't match.
Eberl on the Talks: "No Hard Feelings"
Eberl clarified the ultimatum stage of the contract talks: "We negotiated, then the change in agent occurred. However, the previously agreed-upon figures remained untouched."
In pursuit of amicable resolutions, Bayern attempted to find consensus in further talks. Yet, "the decision was Sané's, and he opted for Galatasaray," states Eberl.
Sané is projected to join the team after signing the contract this Friday in Orlando, alongside England's Harry Kane and Austrian midfielder Konrad Laimer, who played for their respective international teams last Tuesday. Bayern will take on Auckland City of New Zealand in the group stage of the Club World Cup on Sunday (6:00 PM CET).
