Bayern Munich's Interest in Leroy Sane Put on Hold

The Bayern Munich made Leroy Sane one of their top priorities to strengthen their squad during the last summer transfer window. The German club insisted on the possibility of signing the German winger from Manchester City due to the departures of important pieces in their wings, such as Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.

There was a lot of talk about this possibility during the summer period. However, the injury suffered while representing the Citizens has kept Sane out of the game and put this possibility aside. Now, with the German 23-year-old close to returning to the field, rumors have resurfaced.

In recent weeks, it has been common to read in the German media that the Bundesliga champion is working to bring back the former Schalke 04 player to Germany. With a contract that binds him to Pep Guardiola's side until June 2021, Bayern Munich's plans were to sign Essen's native in exchange for a not too high amount.

However, this option will be buried for now. This is precisely what the information published by the Bild newspaper indicates. This source points out that Bayern Munich's sporting director rules out the possibility of adding the attacker to the Bavarian project now, so everything suggests that the next summer will be the key moment to know his future.

decided: Hasan Salihamidzic, Head of Sports @FCBayern, excludes a transfer of @LeroySane19 in winter
