Leroy Sané is set to commit to Bayern Munich’s future. They are close to finishing a new long-term contract. This will keep the German winger at the Allianz Arena until 2028.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Bayern Munich and Leroy Sané are nearly done negotiating a contract extension. Lawyers are reviewing only the legal details now. The 29-year-old German international is expected to sign the deal soon. This will end speculation about his future. The agreement extends Sané’s stay at the Bavarian club until 2028. It gives him a three-year extension to his nearly expired current deal.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The decision to extend Sané’s contract follows months of negotiations between the player and the club. Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl had been working on a new three-year deal for the winger. Reports say it may come with changed financial terms. According to sources, the new contract could reduce base salary by up to 50 percent. But performance-based incentives could help Sané earn up to three-quarters of his current wages.
Sané has played a vital role for Bayern this season. He scored 11 goals and provided between 4-6 assists in 36-41 appearances in all competitions. His choice to stay at Bayern disappoints Arsenal. The Premier League club reportedly had new talks with the former Manchester City player about a possible free transfer.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR BAYERN?
With Sané’s future secured, Bayern Munich can concentrate on their Bundesliga title quest, as they currently lead the competition and are trying to regain the title after losing it to Bayer Leverkusen last season. The German champions are also preparing for the Club World Cup scheduled for June/July 2025. This makes securing key players’ commitments essential before the tournament.
This contract extension is an important move for Bayern. They have already secured the futures of several other key players, including Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, and Jamal Musiala. The club is building a strong core of players while handling some departures. Veteran Thomas Müller is set to leave at the end of the current campaign.
