The Premier League Rivals Could Compete for Sane’s Signature Amid Contract Uncertainty at Bayern
Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly preparing for a potential transfer showdown over Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane. With the German winger’s contract set to expire in the summer of 2025 and competition for game time intensifying, Sane may be considering a move back to the Premier League.
Since leaving Manchester City in 2020, where he won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, and two League Cups under Pep Guardiola, Sane has enjoyed success at Bayern but now finds himself competing for minutes with Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, and Kingsley Coman under manager Vincent Kompany.
Arsenal are reportedly keen to add depth to their wide options, while United, under new head coach Ruben Amorim, are also interested in reshaping their squad. According to Bild and later reported by the Daily Mail, both clubs may look to capitalize on Sane’s contract situation, as Bayern has yet to initiate extension talks.
In addition to the contract timing, financial considerations may play a role in Sane’s decision. Should he choose to stay with Bayern, he faces a potential salary reduction from £16.6 million to £12.4 million, part of broader cost-cutting measures at the club. While teammate Olise is thought to be unaffected by these adjustments, others in the squad could see similar pay cuts.
With no extension talks underway, Sane’s potential return to England promises an exciting subplot as the January window approaches, giving both Arsenal and United a chance to bring the former City star back to the Premier League.
