As the Bayern Munich world turns…
Today is — allegedly — the day for Leroy Sané to make his decision on whether or not he will accept Bayern Munich’s offer per Tz’s Philipp Kessler and Mano Bonke (via @iMiaSanMia):
The deadline that Bayern had set for Leroy Sané, whether to take the club’s current offer or to leave, expires today.
Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg reiterated that Bayern Munich is not likely to change its offer and also mentioned that Arsenal FC is back in the race for the German international:
FC Bayern are sticking to their offer for Leroy #Sané: around €10 million fixed plus €5.5 million in bonuses, as revealed — ideally with no signing fee and a contract running until 2028.
Max Eberl wants clarity by or just after the weekend: “Leroy and his agency know what we want and they know the conditions. We hope he decides for us.”
⚠️ Arsenal are back in the race. Other teams from England are also waiting for his decision.
… with Bayern also counting on the fact that Sané has publicly stated that he wants to stay.
When Eberl asked about the deadline during Friday’s press conference, he was very pragmatic.
“Leroy and his agency know what we want and they know the conditions. We hope he decides for us,” said Eberl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
So…time is ticking.
If Sané was looking to endear himself to the club, he might have had a misstep last night. At the press conference, both Kompany and Eberl were asked about the winger traveling to Monaco for a gala last night. The executive did not have any any knowledge of that:
• Leroy Sané was seen at a gala [charity dinner organized by Thilo Kehrer] in Monaco last night. Was he allowed to travel or are things different two days before the game?
Kompany: “I didn’t see the photos. This is my first time hearing about that. So it’s not a topic for me… pic.twitter.com/3W59r19bxF

Kompany: “I didn’t see the photos. This is my first time hearing about that. So it’s not a topic for me because I don’t know. As I always said, we’ve always solved everything within our family. That will continue to be the case.”
Eberl: “I didn’t know about that either. If that’s the case, we’ll talk about it internally.”
Well…that is probably not a great look. It will be interesting to see if Sané starts tomorrow.
