FC Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the situation of Leroy Sané, a player whose contract with Bayern Munich expires next summer. If he does not renew, the Catalans could consider signing him.
As he approaches the end of his contract with Bayern Munich, the 28-year-old German winger has become a hot topic in transfer discussions. Recently, media outlets have linked him to clubs like Arsenal, Newcastle, and Liverpool, but his list of potential destinations extends beyond these teams.
According to Sport, FC Barcelona is one of the clubs that is keeping an eye on his delicate situation. The Catalans, who are still affected by their difficult economic situation, would be delighted to recruit a player of this talent and potential without having to pay a single euro for his transfer.
Barcelona Faces Tough Competition for Sané Amid Contract Talks
However, signing him appears to be a challenging task. For one, there is significant competition from other clubs. Additionally, Bayern Munich is still pursuing a contract renewal with him. Lastly, his current salary is beyond what Barcelona can afford. “If the winger wants to maintain his market value, it’s unlikely he’ll be a viable option for Barça, and he understands that,” the report states.
On a positive note, having his fellow countryman Hansi Flick managing the team could work in Barcelona’s favor. And when both were together at the Allianz Arena, Sané was a key player and consistently delivered impressive performances. “The big dream is still Nico Williams, but the operation has a high financial price. Sané has the desired profile of a differential player on the wing. For now, the Blaugrana club is fully informed of his situation” concludes the newspaper.
