Leroy Sané rejects latest Bayern Munich contract; Galatasaray bound?

Sky Germany report that Leroy Sané will not extend his contract at Bayern Munich beyond the summer after rejecting a new deal from the Bundesliga champions.

According to Bild, Sané’s new offer wasn’t an improved salary, just a different payment structure. Bayern Munich’s Max Eberl initially offered €10m plus €5m in bonuses before amending the contract to a fixed €12m salary and a further €3.5m attainable via bonuses, which doesn’t meet the player’s demands.

Now Sané is close to joining Turkish champions Galatasaray. Bild add that the 29-year-old won’t play for Bayern Munich at the Club World Cup which kicks-off in a couple of days, while Fabrizio Romano adds that Galatasaray ‘optimistic and confident’ at completing a deal for the Germany international with negotiations with the player underway.

Sané – who also has an offer from Al-Hilal, per Florian Plettenberg – scored 11 goals and provided five assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances last season, his best tally in the Bundesliga so far.
