Leroy Sane makes Bayern contract decision amid Premier League talks

Leroy Sané appears to be steering toward an exit from Bayern Munich this summer.

The German international’s change of agent, joining forces with Israeli super-agent Pini Zahavi, prompted an unwelcome restart of negotiations.

A deal had previously been agreed between the footballer and his old agency (11Wins). However, it’s now understood that the 29-year-old wants improved terms.

Sané’s change of heart may be due in no small part to his partner, Candice Brook, wanting to return to England.

The German’s girlfriend is keen on the idea of going back to London. This has prompted Zahavi to check out opportunities in the English capital.

It remains to be seen what opportunities will open up to the former Manchester City star. However, his agent will have to work double time ahead of the upcoming window, given that his client allowed Bayern’s enforced deadline to pass on Saturday. He does not want to sign the old contract.

Bayern are committed to their prior offer – €10m [£8.39m] (plus €5m [£4.19m] in bonuses) – and don’t want to negotiate a fresh deal.

Barring a sudden discovery of flexibility, all signs point to the Bavarians allowing the Germany international to leave on a free this summer.
