FC Bayern had to work on this transfer for over a year, now Leroy Sané has signed a five-year contract with the German record champions. The Munich club confirmed this. The 24-year-old is coming back from Manchester City to the Bundesliga, according to media reports, the transfer should be less than 50 million euros, plus bonus payments are likely to be added.
“FC Bayern is a very big club and has big goals – and these goals suit me too,” Sané is quoted in a club message: “I still know Hansi Flick from the U21 national team, we had a very good one there Relationship. I want to win as many titles as possible with FC Bayern, and the Champions League is at the top. “
Last summer, FC Bayern wanted to sign the professional, there was a transfer of more than 100 million euros in the room. Also because Sané contracted a cruciate ligament in early August 2019, the transfer did not take place at the time. The fact that the transfer should now be less than 50 million euros was mainly due to Sané’s contract term at City from just one year to 2021.
Sporty home on the left
In 2016, the national player moved from Schalke 04 to City, where he won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the two League Cups twice. He has scored 39 goals in a total of 135 appearances. However, at the end of last season he had lost his status as a safe starting eleven for coach Pep Guardiola’s team.
Sané made his comeback after his serious injury on June 22 in the Premier League game against Burnley. In his professional career to date, the winger has been used primarily on the left side (150 competitive games at club level, 47 goals, 57 assists). In this position, the Frenchman Kingsley Coman plays at FC Bayern, but is repeatedly plagued by injuries; it is also unclear whether winger Ivan Perisic will continue to play for the club after his loan to Munich. Sané could also be used on the right wing, where he played more often during the beginning of his professional career at FC Schalke.
Sané is Bavaria’s third summer entry. Tanguy Nianzou, who signed a four-year contract with FC Bayern, was perfect. Nianzou, 18, is considered one of the greatest defensive talents in Europe. The Frenchman moves from Paris Saint-Germain to Munich on a free transfer. In addition, the club has signed the Schalke goalkeeper Alexander Nübel. Even for the 23-year-old goalkeeper talent, FC Bayern did not have to pay a transfer fee.
