Arsenal’s Interest In Signing Sane Persists

Arsenal are still interested in a summer move for Bayern Munich forward Leroy Sane, whose contract talks with the Bundesliga champions have stalled.

Bayern were close to reaching an agreement with Sane’s representatives over a new deal until 2028 last week, but the Germany international has recently informed the club that he has changed agents and is now represented by Pini Zahavi.

While that has not ruled out Sane signing a new contract with Bayern, it remains uncertain whether the German club will agree to revised terms, having previously been in advanced talks over an extension on reduced wages.

Sane has just two months left on his deal with the Bundesliga giants and is one of the club’s top earners, taking home £330,000 per week.

According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Sane’s future is once again open amid interest from Arsenal, despite Bayern’s efforts to secure his contract renewal in recent weeks:

Sane, praised as ‘world-class’, has been a regular under Vincent Kompany this season, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists in 43 appearances across all competitions.

The Germany international has enjoyed a particularly impressive run of form lately, registering six goal contributions in his last seven Bundesliga matches.

Sane would bring considerable Premier League experience to the Emirates this summer, having spent four seasons at Manchester City and won two English titles.

He made 135 appearances during his time with the Cityzens before departing for Bayern in 2020, where he became a German champion for the fourth time last weekend.
