Arsenal plan to sign Leroy Sané from Bayern Munich next summer
Bukayo SakaThe injury during the international break set off alarm bells in London with Arsenal sweating over the physical condition of his star boy. The setback he suffered while on England duty, although minor, was a reminder that the club needed to sign a backup option for a player who has arguably been overworked in recent years.
one of Mikel ArtetaThe main priorities are probably the acquisition of a right winger and according to journalist Ekrem KonurThe Gunners boss is planning a reunion with Bayern Munich star Leroy Sané. The duo already worked together on city of manchesterwhere they won the first division twice before the German added three more league titles in the Bundesliga.
Sané's contract with Bayern Munich expires next summer and although the Bavarians want to extend his stay at the Allianz Arena, it would be on the condition that the player reduces his current salary.
Sané is understandably reluctant to lower his salary and the situation has alerted Arsenal, with the Londoners considering a bargain for the German international in 2025. Signing Sané, who is valued at around 50 million pounds for Transfermarkt – free of charge transfer It would be excellent business for the Gunners.
However, Arsenal face competition as Barcelona and Newcastle UnitedEdit They are also alerted by the possible availability of the 28-year-old player, Konur reported.
Arsenal unlikely to prioritize Sané
Bukayo Saka is largely Mikel Arteta's main right winger and even a player of Sane's caliber might not be able to usurp the Englishman for a starting role at Arsenal. The Gunners may therefore be reluctant to pay Sane the salary he is seeking, even if he were to arrive on a free transfer. For context, he is paid approximately £320,000 per week at Bayern Munich.
It will be interesting to see what alternative options the Premier League giants pursue, as Sané's salary is likely beyond their budget, especially for a supporting player, but it seems the signing of a specialist striker could still relieve some pressure on Saka. Gabriel Jesus he could then be used instead on the right flank.
Eberechi Eze has been another player linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium and, although Crystal Palace won't let him go without pocketing a windfall, his purchase would still be a cheaper overall transaction than Sane's.
It will be exciting to see exactly how Arteta finds the solution to adding a back-up for Saka, although things may have to wait until next summer rather than being resolved in January.
