Premier League heavyweights Liverpool are reportedly best placed to sign 28-year-old German attacker Leroy Sane if he leaves Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich as a free agent.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Leroy Sane is the subject of interest from Liverpool. Other high-profile clubs are also keen on signing the Bayern Munich attacker in a Bosman move. However, the Reds lead the race to secure the German attacker’s services if he leaves the Bundesliga outfit as a free agent in the 2025 summer transfer window.
Leroy Sane and his story so far
Leroy Sane has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Bayern Munich from Manchester City in a big-money move in July 2020. The experienced attacker rose in prominence in his homeland, going from strength to strength at FC Schalke 04. However, his stock skyrocketed during his stint with Manchester City.
While the 28-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance at Bayern Munich, he has blown hot and cold in the last four and a half years. That has meant that Sane has failed to nail down the wide attacking berths as an undisputed first-choice attacker for the Bundesliga club.
The German international has turned out nearly 200 times thus far for Bayern Munich while chipping in with 51 goals and 50 assists. However, Sane faces an uncertain future at the Bundesliga club after entering the final seven months of his contract. The situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Liverpool.
Premier League return on the horizon?
Liverpool’s interest in Leroy Sane is understandable. The Reds are in a spot of bother over the long-term future of Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian forward’s situation is not too dissimilar to the Bayern Munich attacker, as he has entered the final seven months of his contract.
So, the Premier League heavyweights are planning for life after Salah, with several candidates, including Sane, emerging on their radar. The latest report has pointed to Liverpool being in the pole position to sign the 28-year-old Bayern Munich winger if he leaves the Bundesliga club as a free agent.
While the report does not mention any other suitors, Sane’s impending free-agent status makes him an appealing target for most European bigwigs. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can beat the competition to the signature of the German international.
