Leroy Sane has reportedly been offered to Real Madrid, who could look at the German international if Marco Asensio departs.
According to Fichajes, Leroy Sane is being offered to Real Madrid, as Bayern Munich may look to sell the German international during the summer. The Spanish giants could become interested in the former Manchester City attacker if they fail to tie down Marco Asensio on a new contract.
Leroy Sane has yet to cement an undisputed spot in Julian Nagelsmann’s Bayern Munich setup, although he is an important player. His starting position in the team remains in some doubt, particularly after the arrival of Sadio Mane in the summer.
Significant rumours are circling in the media regarding his long-term future amid links with a host of Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United. In his earlier spell in England, he was a star performer for Manchester City, and those displays still have a significant effect on clubs in England.
There are also eyeballs from Spain, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in Sane. The 26-year-old German international has a contract with Bayern until 2025, which puts the Bavarians in a decent position to broker a good deal with suitors if they put him up for sale.
The report suggests Sane is being offered to Real Madrid, who are mulling over the prospect of signing the winger based on other factors. Those include the future of Marco Asensio, whose contract expires in the summer. The Spanish international is also courted by Premier League clubs, including Liverpool.
Real Madrid have been keen on offering Asensio a new contract. But the Spaniard is considering his options based on his current standing within Carlo Ancelotti’s plans. And there are doubts about whether he would extend his stay. In the scenario the Spanish international departs, Los Blancos might consider bringing in Sane.
Sane could feature heavily for Bayern Munich between now and the end of the season. But the interest from elsewhere could make him rethink his future. A move to Spain could also be considered, although one cannot rule out a return to the Premier League.
Sane would be a tremendous signing for Real Madrid, who could see the 26-year-old German international as an upgrade to Asensio. Considering the competition for places at the Bernabeu, the winger may face a similar situation he currently finds himself now at Bayern.
