Bayern Munich has been focused in recent months on securing the continuity of some of its great stars, such as Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala. However, an important name has been sidelined in the Bavarian club's planning: Leroy Sané.
The German winger, whose contract ends in 2025, still hasn't renewed, which has caused speculation about his possible departure. Among the interested teams, FC Barcelona is closely monitoring his situation. Since his profile fits perfectly into Hansi Flick's play style, who has already worked with him in the German national team.
Bayern Doubts Sané's Renewal
Since his arrival at Bayern in 2020 from Manchester City for 50 million euros, Sané's performance has been inconsistent. Although he has demonstrated his talent and explosiveness, his inconsistency and some injuries have prevented him from becoming an untouchable piece for the club.
Meanwhile Bayern has secured the continuity of younger players like Musiala and Davies, Sané's situation has been left in the air. The Bavarian board, led by Max Eberl, has prioritized the renewal of players it considers strategic in the long term. Leaving the winger in an uncertain position.
Time is running against him, as if Sané doesn't sign an extension soon, Bayern could be forced to sell him this summer to avoid his free departure in 2025.
Barça, alert to His Possible Signing
In this situation, FC Barcelona has shown interest in Sané, as Hansi Flick believes he could be a key piece in his project. His speed, dribbling and ability to play on both wings make him an ideal profile to strengthen the blaugrana attack.
Barça has closely followed the player's evolution. It knows that if Bayern doesn't reach a renewal agreement, it could secure his signing for a more accessible price or even wait for him to become a free agent in 2025.
With the departure of Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati, Barcelona needs to incorporate a winger with experience and the ability to make a difference in important matches. Sané, with his experience in the Bundesliga, Premier League and Champions League, meets all these requirements.
Sané's Decision and His Message to Bayern
According to Kicker, Sané has made a key decision and has already communicated it to his entourage and Bayern's coaching staff:
"I will listen to offers, but I also know that I want to be in a place where I can feel valued."
This stance leaves two scenarios open:
- Renew with Bayern, if they offer him a contract that meets his expectations.
- Seek a departure, either this summer or wait to become a free agent in 2025.
Barcelona, aware of this situation, remains expectant. If the player doesn't extend his contract with Bayern, the blaugrana club could make a move to incorporate him into its squad.
A Possible Signing for Barça?
The signing of Leroy Sané by Barça would depend on two key factors:
- The club's economic situation: Barça still has salary restrictions, so his arrival should be negotiated under favorable conditions.
- The competition from other clubs: Premier League teams are also alert to Sané's situation and could offer him more lucrative contracts.
For now, the only sure thing is that Sané hasn't made a definitive decision about his future and that Barça is following his situation. If Flick considers him a priority and Bayern doesn't accelerate his renewal, the German winger could become one of the big surprises of the summer market.
