Leroy Sané’s time at Bayern Munich may be nearing its end, with Abendzeitung reporting that a contract extension is unlikely. The winger’s current deal expires at the conclusion of the season, raising the possibility of a summer departure.
Sané’s Struggles Impact Renewal Talks
Since returning to the Bundesliga in 2020, Sané has faced criticism for inconsistent performances, which have hindered his ability to secure a new agreement. His recovery from an injury sustained during EURO 2024 further slowed his momentum at the start of this campaign. With no progress in negotiations, the 28-year-old could begin discussions with foreign clubs as soon as January, potentially leaving Bayern on a free transfer.
More Departures Could Follow
Sané is not the only player under scrutiny at Säbener Straße. Leon Goretzka has long been linked with a move away from the club, while fellow attackers Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman are also reportedly facing uncertain futures. With one of the trio expected to leave, Bayern’s leadership appears intent on reshaping the squad ahead of the next season.
The decision to part ways with these high-profile names is tied to their substantial wages, which are seen as a financial burden. Offloading even one of these players would help the club cut costs while preparing for significant reinforcements.
Bayern’s Eyes Set on Florian Wirtz
The potential exits of Sané, Goretzka, and others would not only free up salary space but also help finance Bayern’s pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz. The 21-year-old, who has established himself as one of Europe’s brightest talents, is expected to command a transfer fee exceeding €100 million.
Bayern Munich views Wirtz as a central piece of their long-term strategy, and his acquisition would signal the start of a new chapter for the Bundesliga champions. As the club navigates a transitional phase, big decisions on Sané and other key players are likely in the months ahead.
