Leroy Sane will likely sign a new contract with Bayern Munich, handing a blow to Barcelona, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Barcelona, Chelsea, and Liverpool have been keen on signing Leroy Sane. The German international has entered the final 18 months of his contract. But he has handed a blow to his suitors, as he will likely sign a new contract with Bayern Munich.
Leroy Sane and his Bayern Munich Journey
Leroy Sane has established himself as one of the best players in the Bundesliga since joining Bayern Munich from Manchester City. The 28-year-old was among the top attackers in the Premier League when he moved to the Allianz Arena. He took some time to get going at the Bavarian club but has come into his own this season.
The German international has contributed to 21 goals thus far this term in 29 appearances. He has found the back of the net nine times while providing 12 assists. Meanwhile, Sane’s contract situation has captured the attention of high-profile clubs like Barcelona, Chelsea, and Liverpool, as he has entered the final 18 months of his deal.
A Man i Demand
Barcelona’s interest in Leroy Sane is understandable. Raphinha faces an uncertain future at the Catalan club, who might cash in on him this summer to balance the books and raise funds for summer signings. So, the Bayern Munich attacker has emerged as a viable target.
As for Chelsea, the Blues have a stacked attack. And while offensive output has not been at the desired level, they need to offload a few forwards before signing someone like Sane. Nonetheless, Chelsea will likely look to launch the offensive to sign the 28-year-old German international this summer.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s interest in Leroy Sane stems from the uncertainties surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future. Saudi Pro League clubs are keen on signing the Liverpool talisman. And while Sane might not be a like-for-like replacement, he is an option worth considering. But the player is ready to sign a new contract with Bayern Munich.
The latest update comes as a blow for Barcelona, Chelsea, and Liverpool. The three clubs now need to look elsewhere to bolster their respective offensive departments, with the 28-year-old German international likely to sign a new deal with Bayern Munich.
