Crisis atmosphere at FC Bayern: Sané before a change, Kimmich hesitates!
Leroy Sané, who has played for FC Bayern for five years, faces an uncertain future as his contract expires at the end of the season. How oe24 reported, FC Bayern has not yet made a new offer. Although Sané is supported by sports director Max Eberl, the offensive player could leave Munich for a free transfer in the summer. Interest from England is growing, especially from Arsenal FC, whose coach Mikel Arteta knows Sané well from his time at Manchester City. However, Bukayo Saka could pose major challenges for him in his preferred position in the team.
Things are anything but smooth for the record champions in the Bundesliga. In a dramatic game against VfL Bochum, FC Bayern lost 2:3, after temporarily leading 2:0. Coach Vincent Kompany relied on rotation and changed the team a lot, but this didn't have a positive effect. The decision is now also in the context of the Champions League second leg against Bayer Leverkusen, in which FC Bayern starts with a 3-0 lead from the first leg. However, the task is made more difficult by the absence of Aleksandar Pavlović, who is suffering from an infection, and the suspension of João Palhinha after a red card against Bochum, like t online reported.
Kimmich before contract extension
Last but not least, there is positive news for Bayern fans: Joshua Kimmich is about to extend his contract. He announced that a decision regarding his future with the record champions was expected in the next few days. While Sané's future remains uncertain, Bayern fans seem to at least be able to rely on Kimmich.
