Leroy Sané nears Bayern Munich exit for Galatasaray deal

Leroy Sané is set to leave Bayern Munich and join Turkish club Galatasaray on a three-year contract worth around €10–15 million per year net, providing him a fresh start after a challenging 2024-25 season. Despite a promising start, Sané’s performance at Bayern declined, with inconsistent displays and modest statistics of 11 goals and 5 assists in the Bundesliga, leading to Bayern placing him on the transfer list. Galatasaray’s offer, which includes participation in the UEFA Champions League, appealed to Sané and reportedly outweighed interest from Arsenal and other clubs. Bayern views the transfer as a strategic and financial win, freeing up salary space and allowing squad restructuring. Sané’s move marks the end of a mixed chapter in his career at Bayern, where he won multiple Bundesliga titles but struggled with consistency. He aims to revive his career and play a leading role in a passionate football environment at Galatasaray.
