Sané Skips Bayern Training for Istanbul Medical: Galatasaray Move on the Horizon?
Team's New Absentee: Sané Fails to Show Up
Get ready for a change in the football landscape: Leroy Sané might be bidding farewell to FC Bayern and heading to Turkey. With his contract expiring at the end of June, Sané is rumored to be declining Bayern's revised offer and going for the greener pastures of Istanbul.
Rumors are swirling that Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are hot contenders, with negotiations with Galatasaray in full swing[4]. Intriguingly, Sané is expected to fly to Istanbul tonight for a medical check-up and pen his name on a lavish contract[5].
However, FC Bayern's leadership remains tight-lipped, with no official announcements stating Sané's next destination. In fact, our captain, Manuel Neuer, stayed ambiguous during a post-training session interview, stating, "We can't comment on the situation as we haven't gotten any concrete information. Sané hasn't reached out to the team, so we can't participate in all the speculation[5]."
Though the Sané case is still up in the air, expect clarity by Thursday at the latest. On Tuesday, Sané was still listed on Bayern's squad for the FIFA Club World Cup, with his contract valid until a possible quarterfinal at the tournament[1]. The German champions will battle Auckland City in Cincinnati on Sunday (6 p.m. CEST on DAZN, Sat.1, and in the ntv.de live ticker).
Sané joined Bayern Munich in 2020 for a transfer fee of approximately €49 million from Manchester City[6]. Said to be one of Bayern's top earners, Sané has been unwilling to accept significant pay cuts during negotiations with the Munich team.

The Commission, given the ongoing negotiations, may propose a directive for environmental protection considering Sané's potential move from FC Bayern to Galatasaray Istanbul in the football world. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his transfer, Leroy Sané's potential earnings at Galatasaray could rival the sports fees he previously received during his time with Manchester City.
