Sane, 27, has been turning heads with his standout performances for Bayern this Bundesliga season, attracting interest from Premier League giants Liverpool and his former club Manchester City.
Despite the tempting lure from English clubs, Bayern Munich are determined to retain winger Sane's services and are actively working towards extending his contract well beyond 2025. Christian Falk, the head of football at Sport BILD, emphasizes Bayern's optimism in this regard, citing Sane's evident contentment in Munich as a decisive factor.
Sane, who currently commands an annual salary of approximately ¬20 million, falls just shy of Bayern's top earners who rake in around ¬25 million each year, as reported by Falk. This wage structure is a testament to Bayern's commitment to maintaining a competitive squad.
Christoph Freund, Bayern's sporting director, recently affirmed the club's sincere interest in securing Sane on a long-term deal. Speaking to Sport BILD, Freund expressed his admiration for Sane's current form, stating, "Leroy is doing brilliantly at the moment. You can see from his smiling face how much fun he's having. This is the best Leroy Sane we've had at Bayern. He is one of the players we want to build the future of the team around."
The negotiations hold significance not only for Bayern but also for Sane's career trajectory. The player's allegiance and enthusiasm for the club have been evident on the field, with his performances reflecting a seamless integration into Bayern's playing style. The Bundesliga giants aim to capitalize on this synergy, securing Sane as a linchpin for the future success of the team.
As the international break provides a brief hiatus, Bundesliga fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on the contract negotiations between Bayern Munich and Leroy Sane.
