Leroy Sané: "Quiero quedarme en el Bayern"

By RSR Málaga, 21 December
After Bayern Munich’s victory against RB Leipzig, Leroy Sané addressed ongoing speculation about his future, affirming his desire to remain at the German club despite mounting pressure and scrutiny from the board.
Contract Uncertainty at Bayern
Sané finds himself amid a delicate period of contract negotiations at Bayern Munich. Several key players, including Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Joshua Kimmich, are either nearing the end of their contracts or engaged in renewal talks. However, Sané's name has conspicuously been absent from recent comments made by club president Herbert Hainer, who highlighted these players as pivotal to the club’s future during Bayern’s annual general meeting.
This omission has fueled doubts about the winger’s standing within the team, despite his strong performances on the pitch.
Sané Speaks Out
In a post-match interview, Sané made his intentions clear:
"Max Eberl [Bayern’s sporting director] has spoken a lot about this, and I’ve shared my opinion. Things are going well, and we’ll see what happens. Right now, I just want to perform at my best and help us win games. I want to stay at FC Bayern München."
Despite his public commitment, contract talks remain stalled, and Bayern has yet to initiate renewal discussions.
What’s Next for Sané?
With his contract running out, Sané is entering a critical phase. Starting 1 January, the winger will be free to negotiate with other clubs, raising the stakes for Bayern to act swiftly if they wish to keep him.
The remainder of the season will be pivotal for Sané, who is under pressure to prove his value to the club. While his talent and contributions on the field are unquestionable, Bayern’s leadership appears cautious about committing long-term to the player.
A Crossroads for Bayern and Sané
Whether Sané remains at Bayern or explores opportunities elsewhere could depend on his performances in the coming months. The club must balance its financial priorities with its sporting ambitions, making Sané’s future one of the key storylines to watch as 2024 begins.
