Transfer Talk: Arsenal sets for Bayern’s Sané, a player well fitted to make the quick moves by the side
Arsenal and Newcastle United have joined Barcelona in the race to sign Leroy Sané, according to Ekrem Konur.
Talks between Sané’s representatives and Bayern Munich over a new contract have stalled after German giants reportedly took the stance that they would only extend the 28-year-old’s deal if he took a pay cut, throwing the winger’s future into doubt.
Sané’s current contract is set to expire in June 2025, which means clubs based outside of Germany will be allowed to open negotiations with the former Manchester City flyer as of Jan. 1.
Sané has been at Bayern since 2020, scoring 29 goals in 125 Bundesliga games to date. He is also a seasoned Germany international, having made his debut for the Mannschaft back in 2015. While Arsenal signed winger Raheem Sterling on loan a few months ago, the potential exit of Leandro Trossard — who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia — could see the Gunners target Sané in January.
