Arsenal Transfer News: Leroy Sane ‘Very Interested’ in Move to Emirates Stadium
A report from the Express has revealed that Leroy Sane is reportedly ‘very interested’ in a move to Arsenal as the Bayern Munich star’s contract saga continues. The German winger is set to become a free agent this summer, and according to sources, he is eyeing a potential switch to the Emirates Stadium.
The Express understands that Sane has been in talks with several clubs, including Turkish powerhouses Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, who are both prepared to make lucrative offers to lure him to Istanbul. However, the player’s preference is said to be a move to London, which could put Arsenal in the driving seat to sign him. As noted by the Express, Sane’s wife Candice is also believed to be in favour of a move to the English capital.
According to German publication Bild, Sane has yet to make a final decision on his future, despite his impending free agency on July 1. The Express reports that Bayern chiefs are eager to retain their star player and have proposed a new three-year contract, albeit on reduced terms. However, Sane has declined the offer, unwilling to accept a pay cut, sparking interest from rival clubs.
The Express notes that Sane’s impressive goal tally, which exceeds 60 during his tenure at Bayern, could bring an additional dimension to any team. His speed and skill on the pitch have made him a highly sought-after player, and Arsenal are believed to be keen on securing his services. As reported by the Express, Sane has previously found the back of the net against Arsenal during his time at Manchester City.
A reunion with Mikel Arteta could be on the horizon, as the Arsenal manager worked closely with Sane during his time at Manchester City. The Express understands that Arsenal’s main focus this summer is to secure a new striker, with Benjamin Sesko topping their wish list. However, the potential signing of Sane could provide a significant boost to their forward line.
The Express quotes a source close to the player, who notes that a move to London is said to be ‘appealing’ to both Sane and his wife. While other options, including a move to Saudi Arabia or Serie A champions Napoli, are available, they are reportedly not particularly enticing for the player. As the Express reports, Sane’s priority appears to be a move to Arsenal, and the club will look to take advantage of his interest in the coming months.
In related news, the Express has also revealed that Sane won several titles during his time in the Premier League, including the PFA Young Player of the Year in 2018. His success in England has made him a highly sought-after player, and Arsenal will look to utilise their connections with the player to secure his services.
The potential signing of Sane would be a significant coup for Arsenal, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. With his speed, skill, and experience, Sane could be a valuable addition to the team, and the Express will continue to provide updates on his future in the coming months.
