The full program of the first stage of the club world

The understanding between Leroy Sane and Bayern expires at the end of this month, and according to the information that appeared in the German press, the club offered the extension of the contract, but the salary was to be low, which the footballer did not accept.

Thus, Sane preferred a new challenge and signed with Galatasaray, the Turkish champion putting more money on the table (9 million euros per season + other 3 million in the form of bonuses).

Joshua Kimmich was surprised by Sane's choice and drew an alarm signal

At the press conference preceding this evening, the second captain of the Bavarian was asked what he thinks about the fact that Leroy Sane refused the contract proposed by Bayern and chose to leave for Turkey.

He did not hesitate to answer, confessing that the departure signs were clear, but that he did not expect such a destination.

Moreover, taking into account the fact that, besides Sane, Bayern lost this summer and Thomas Muller (termination of the contract), but also on Mathys Tel (bought definitely by Tottenham after the loan period), the midfielder had a message for the club management, suggesting that the team must be in the offensive compartment.

For those who followed the events of the last week, the fact that he will leave was predictable. I had the feeling that the two parties (no – club and sane) were not understood, which has proven to be true.

However, I will not lie to you, surprised me the new destination. We don't expect it. But it is his decision, I hope with all his heart that in a few years he will look back and tell him he did what he needed. I wish him much success.

As for us, well … I would say we are in a delicate situation. We lost three important players in the offensive compartment. First Thomas (no – Muller), then Leroy (no – sane), and I recently learned that neither Mathys (no – tel) will not return. This means we are exposed to that area and we should act quickly to cover these gaps

But Bild I write that Bayern is working hard in this chapter, having three top names of European football, namely Nico Williams, Rafael Leao and Bradley Barcola.

Moreover, as far as the Portuguese is concerned, it seems that the Bavarian sports directors, Max Eberl and Christoph Freund have already held some discussions with his agents.

The hardest struggle is announced to be the one for Nico Williams, who is intensely courted by Barcelona, ​​but also by Arsenal, the Catalans leaving the pole.
