Contrary to statements by sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, national player Leroy Sané is said not to be for sale at FC Bayern this summer.
Leroy Sané’s guest appearance at FC Bayern has been a rollercoaster ride for a good two years.
The 26-year-old showed good approaches more often and even played an outstanding first half of the season in 2021/2022. But Sané keeps disappearing. He has not been in normal form since the beginning of the year.
No wonder, then, that there have long been rumors of change about the former Schalke player. Arsenal FC is said to have put out its feelers, as well as Premier League competitor Manchester United, it was said recently in the English media.
Is FC Bayern ready to talk to Leroy Sané?
However, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic resolutely opposed the speculation from the island on Sunday. “There is nothing in United’s interest,” the Bosnian clarified on the talk show “Sky 90”. “Leroy is an important player for us, so there’s nothing to tell about that at all.”
If you believe “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg, the words of the former professional should be treated with caution.
According to this, FC Bayern still has high hopes internally for Sané and his final breakthrough in the new season. However, the winger is “not not for sale”.
Plettenberg specified: “If there was an offer in the range of 60 to 70 million euros, then Bayern would at least listen to it.”
Tough competition at FC Bayern
Currently Sané has rather bad cards in the fight for the regular places at Bayern.
Newcomer Sadio Mané is in the very variable offensive line after the departure of Robert Lewandowski. Thomas Müller is also not up for debate. In addition, Serge Gnabry and especially Jamal Musiala have recently presented themselves in strong condition.
Both in the Supercup against RB Leipzig (5: 3) and in the Bundesliga opener at Eintracht Frankfurt (6: 1), only the joker role remained for Sané. After all: In both games he recorded a goal participation after his substitution.
