Leroy Sane is poised to complete a free transfer to Turkish club Galatasaray after rejecting a contract extension with Bayern Munich.
Leroy Sane is set to join Galatasaray on a free transfer after arriving in Istanbul ahead of signing a contract with the Super Lig champions. The 29-year-old winger has been out of contract at Bayern Munich since the end of June and rejected the club’s offer of a contract extension.
Galatasaray has expressed their excitement about the potential signing, posting photos of Sane wearing a Galatasaray scarf on their social media.
The club has also engaged with their fans, with over one million supporters tuning in to a live broadcast on YouTube of a flight-tracker showing Sane’s plane arriving in the city.
Sane joined Bayern Munich from Manchester City in 2020 on a five-year deal, but has now opted to move to Galatasaray as a free agent.
The winger’s decision to reject a contract extension with Bayern Munich has paved the way for his transfer to the Turkish club. With Sane’s signing, Galatasaray is looking to strengthen their squad and make a strong challenge in the upcoming season.
