Leroy Sané's future with Bayern Munich is now crystal clear - the player is moving on!

In a shocking twist, our national treasure, Leroy Sané, is reportedly allowing his contract with Bayern, valid until the end of June, to expire. According to insiders like Sky, the dynamic midfielder has turned down a lucrative offer, signaling the end of his era with Bayern Munich.
With Sané's signature set to decorate the Galatasaray roster soon, impatience grips the Istanbul club. Bild reports that only a pen is missing to ink the deal, while Kicker echoes the sentiment.

As the great Bayern Munich team sets off for the states, Sané makes the cut for the Club World Cup roster. But, his current contract with the German record champions doesn't stretch beyond a possible quarter-final at the Club World Cup, which commences on Sunday (6 pm, DAZN and live ticker at ntv.de) in Cincinnati against Auckland City.
Sané swapped Manchester City for Bayern Munich in the summer of 2020, joining the squad for a cool €49 million. As the top earner at the club, Sané isn't eager to take a substantial pay cut despite grueling negotiations.
Before we bid adieu, complete with a heartfelt social media farewell, Sané thanked the fans and staff of Bayern Munich for the extraordinary journey of five years. Rumors about possible replacements swirl, with the likes of Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao, Rafa Leão from AC Milan, Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea FC, and Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain on Bayern's radar.
However, the transfer window for the Club World Cup has already closed, so for now, the spotlight is all on Sané and his new Turkish adventure.
