Bayern Munich still has a lot of contracts to sort out and one of those is Leroy Sané. The current gripe with Sané is that his performances swing wildly between hot and cold and that he’s only good for half a season, but that won’t stop the club from extending the 28-year-old. There is a catch, however:
Both Bayern and Leroy Sané want a contract extension beyond 2025. An agreement, however, is not yet in sight. For a new contract, Sané would currently need to take a pay cut of around €2-4m gross per year. A January transfer is off the table. Sané is 100% committed to Bayern.

BFW Analysis
I’ve been saying this idea for a while now and I maintain that it’s a great compromise because Sané still has a lot to offer. It’s just the whole “can’t perform after Christmas” thing that causes folks to have misgivings on his extension. We all know that an in-form Sané performs better than Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry, so imagine what one season’s worth of in-form Sané looks like. If he could get past that hump, we’re good.
If selling all three wingers for Viktor Gyökeres is on the cards and Vincent Kompany plays a 4-2-2-2, however, don’t mind if I do!
