German media exclusive: Sane refuses to renew his contract and leaves the team freely! Bayern has to spend 100 million euros to find a replacement

Although the 2024-25 season was regained the Bundesliga championship, it was still a bad season for Bayern.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern's strength stands out, and it is a miracle not to win the championship. For example, Leverkusen beats Bayern and wins the championship unbeaten in the 2023-24 season, it is rare to see in a century.

Look at the Champions League, it was eliminated by the aging Inter Milan in the quarter-finals. Why isn't it bad? It is difficult to judge whether the level of the young coach Kompani is high or low. It is definitely necessary to continue to strengthen the lineup strength to ensure sufficient competitiveness. However, judging from the current situation, Bayern is not making any progress.

The number one target, Wilz, is close to being intercepted by Liverpool.

According to exclusive news from Germany's Sky Sports, Sane has clearly refused to renew his contract with Bayern and will leave freely. This is undoubtedly another wake-up call for Bayern.

In July 2020, when Bayern introduced Sane from Manchester City, the transfer fee was 49 million euros. Nowadays, Bayern is facing the dilemma of not being able to recover a penny of transfer fees, and introducing alternative candidates has to spend a lot of money. The dramatic turning point of Sane leaving the team is not a salary difference or competitive contradiction, but a secret choice in private life. According to Bild chief reporter Falk, his partner Candice Brooke's desire to return to the Premier League has become a key push. The winger, who had played for four years at Manchester City, had his family's obsession with life in London prompted agent Zahavi to contact the London Club urgently, and Arsenal and Tottenham quickly entered the field of vision.

Bayern has not tried hard to keep. In April this year, Sane even rejected the four-year, 100 million euro annual salary contract issued by Saudi Jeddah. At that time, the club was optimistic that the contract renewal was close to completion. The management provided a three-year contract with a basic annual salary of 10 million euros + a maximum floating bonus of 5 million euros, which was significantly lower than its original salary. However, family will overwhelms the considerations of competition and money - as the partner's London vision becomes clearer, the Sane team allows the signing deadline set in March to expire, and eventually close the negotiation door.

Bayern's scouting network has urgently locked in several top wingers.

Sanzao (Brighton): The Bundesliga giants have contacted their agents, and Brighton has a price of 50 million euros, which is regarded as the most pragmatic choice; Nico Williams (Bilbao): The liquidated damages are as high as 60 million euros, and Arsenal is eyeing them at the same time; Leo (AC Milan): Milan has priced nearly 100 million for Portuguese stars, and Bayern is only in the initial contact stage.

Even if you choose the most cost-effective Sanzao, including the signature fee and salary, the total cost will still approach 80 million euros. If you pursue superstars like Leo, your overall expenditure will inevitably exceed 100 million mark. The next stop in

Sane has surfaced. He is "very interested" in Arsenal, and his experience in cooperating with coach Arteta at Manchester City has become a key link, while other Premier League teams such as Tottenham have been treated coldly. Although Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have olive branches with annual salary of 10 million to 15 million euros (net income is higher than Bayern's offer), the players clearly exclude this option.

Arsenal's tactical needs are highly consistent with Sane: Arteta urgently needs a burst point on the wing, and Sane's 184cm tall, left foot attributes and Premier League experience (60 goals and 43 assists in Manchester City's period) can theoretically strengthen the Gunners' forward line. But the potential risks are also significant - he averaged more than 3.4 times to 1.3 times per game in recent seasons, with frequent decision-making mistakes and his stability has been criticized. If the Gunners take over with high salaries, they may repeat the mistake of Bayern's "high salary and inefficiency".

Bayern once proposed to extend the short-term contract to the end of the Club World Cup (July 13), leaving a last window for negotiations, but Sane refused to go to the United States with the team - the No. 10 jersey at Allianz Stadium, which eventually became history.
