Leroy Sane’s thoughts on Arsenal transfer emerge amid Bayern Munich contract dispute

Arsenal are among those linked with Leroy Sane, who is keen on a move to north London with his Bayern Munich contract winding down as talks fail to lead to an extension

Leroy Sane is ‘very interested’ in moving to Arsenal as the Bayern Munich star prepares to become a free agent this summer with his contract saga still rumbling on.

The German has been at the Allianz Arena ever since he left Manchester City for just over £50million back in 2020. He’s remained a regular but has been unable to iron his out his future in Bavaria which could leave him on the lookout for a new club.

Arsenal are among those linked with the winger, who was a big hit during his time in the Premier League. He won several titles and, on a personal level, was named the PFA Young Player of the Year back in 2018.

Throughout his time in Manchester Mikel Arteta was Pep Guardiola’s No 2 and worked closely with the German. A reunion could now be on the cards as Arsenal look to bolster their forward line with a winger on their radar over the coming months.

Sane is also aware of interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, who are both ready to make lucrative offers to tempt him to Istanbul. German outlet Bild claim that Sane is yet to make a final decision on his future despite the fact he is set to become a free agent on July 1.

But a move to London is ‘appealing’ to him and his wife Candice, which could put the Gunners in pole position to sign him. Sane’s other options include a move to Saudi Arabia or Serie A champions Napoli but it is understood those are not overly tempting for the player.

Bayern bosses are keen to keep hold of their player and have already offered him a new three-year contract, but on reduced terms. Sane rejected the offer as he is unwilling to take a pay-cut which has seen rival clubs circle.

Sane has scored over 60 times throughout his time on Bayern’s books – hitting double figures every season – and could add another dynamic with pace one of his great assets. He previously scored against Arsenal in his City days.

Arsenal’s priority this summer is on adding a new No 9 and they’ve made Benjamin Sesko their preferred target. They want to sign the Slovenian, who has continued his progression at RB Leipzig with the German club often selling their top talent for the right fee.
