Leroy Sané rejected the offer to extend his contract at FC Bayern and instead decided to switch to Galatasaray. The fact that the German international will appear for the Turkish champion in the future triggers mixed feelings in the former Munich attacker Nils Petersen, as he explained exclusively.
The pictures of Leroy Sanés arrival at the airport in Istanbul went around the world. Like a pop star, the 29-year-old was welcomed by hundreds of Galatasaray fans in the middle of the night.
So while the euphoria on the Bosphorus is huge, the change of wing striker in Germany is viewed quite critically. Nils Petersen, who once went on goals for FC Bayern like Sané, cannot fully understand the national player’s election.
In conversation with RTL/NTV and sport.de The record joker of the Bundesliga explained exclusively: “He changes a bit to sporting insignificance. If you switch to the Turkish league, you leave the top 5 leagues-then you no longer want to measure yourself with the best.” (Video opens below)

In the opinion of the long -time Freiburg striker, Sanés could have been a lack of alternatives.
“If you critically analyze it, your achievements were too fluctuating. I think he didn’t have the largest market,” Petersen said. Sané always lacked consistency, and he also considered moody and sometimes also phlegmatic.
Leroy Sané was not satisfied with offers from FC Bayern
Sané, on the other hand, seems to be fully convinced of having found the right club for himself with Galatasaray.
“I’m happy to be here,” beamed the left foot, which claims to have many other inquiries on the table. But “the overall package” inspired him.
The overall package? This should also be significantly higher financially at GALA than the significantly reduced annual salary of allegedly fixed twelve million euros, which FC Bayern offered for an extension by 2028.
