After his last game for FC Bayern, Leroy Sané says goodbye. He wants to hand over his number ten to a teammate.

Leroy Sané had a smile on his face when he finally said goodbye to FC Bayern. “These are great boys, great players, the whole staff around it too. I really enjoyed it here,” said the international after his last effort for the record champion in the 4-2 against Flamengo in the round of 16 of the club World Cup and added wistful: “I will miss the team.”

After his very last game for the Munich -based Sané, his silence of the past few weeks ended and surprisingly spoke again in the mixed zone. Both in an English -language round before international journalists and in a group interview with German reporters.

He himself had to finish his time in Munich, which ends with his move to Galatasaray Istanbul. In any case, he “really enjoyed” his farewell weeks at the tournament in the USA, emphasized the 29-year-old: “Of course I always had to listen to a few jokes, but that’s something special. It was always fun, regardless of whether you are winning or not.”

His teammates said goodbye to Sané with warm words. “Leroy is a great person”, a “great footballer,” said Manuel Neuer. Of course, the wing striker sometimes “had a bit of shit on the shoe”, the captain also admitted that not everyone can do the right run first.

Coach Vincent Kompany also emphasized that he had “nothing but respect” for Sané, with whom he had still played with Manchester City. “It was five nice years with him,” said Leon Goretzka, “now we have nothing left but to wish him all the best for the future.”

This is for Sané in Turkey. He is looking forward to the team, the stadium, the fans, “he emphasized. With FC Bayern, he definitely “in good things” and a “heir” for his number ten is already ready. He hoped that his buddy Jamal Musiala would get her, said Sané with a smile: “The boy still has a lot in front of him. I hope that he takes the time, continues to work and show what he can do.”
