Leroy Sane will be out of contract with Bayern Munch on 30 June
Arsenal is said to be interested in signing Leroy Sane with a free transfer, but Bayern Munich hopes to persuade the wing player to sign a new deal. Sane will run without a contract on 30 June and still have to make a decision about his future.
Arsenal is on the market for attacking reinforcements this summer and the co-chairman of the club, Josh Kroenke, has sworn Mikel Arteta to rely on the transfer market. “We are planning to invest to go behind and do better the next season,” said Kroenke.
“We are pleased that we have our sports director, Andrea [Berta]who will play an important role in this. He is part of a united and strong team, supported by the board, which are crystal clear on exactly what we have to do and the way we want to do it. In the right way. The Arsenal Way. “
‌ And according to a report from Sky Germany, Arsenal are among the clubs that keep an eye on a movement for Sane. The 29-year-old has a lot of Premier League experience and has won the title twice during his time in Manchester City.
He also worked with Arteta in City, where the Gunners -Baas spent more than three years in Etihad as an assistant to Pep Guardiola. However, the report states that Bayern has now submitted an improved contract offer in an attempt to persuade Sane to stay.
The agent of Sane, Pini Zahavi, was recently seen as dinner with Bayern's sports director Max Eberl and said: “We had a very good dinner, it was a nice dinner, I enjoyed it. But no news. I can't speak about it, but it was a nice meeting.”
The report adds that Bayern Sane A 'has offered a slightly higher fixed salary' than their previous contract offer, which would have earned the attacker about € 10 million (£ 8.4 million) plus € 5.5 million (£ 4.6 million) in bonuses.
“We have a very good relationship with his old and new management,” Eberl said earlier this month. “It was surprising for us. We will see what happens. We thought it was so close. But we will see, we will talk to each other.
“Our wish is to extend Leroy's contract, we have communicated that to him. But we have our limits. If the limits are exceeded, it will be very difficult. Let's see what happens. Until the deal is rounded, nothing can be said.
“We have a clear idea and thought we were on the right track. Of course we talk to the new desk. There is no bad blood; the players are free to make their own decisions.
“The performance of Leroy in recent weeks have been very good; he has shown that he is committed to Bayern Munich. We hope he will extend, and if not, we will also go further.
