Shock transfer! Leroy Sané leaves Bayern Munich for Galatasaray!

In a surprising turn, Leroy Sané announced his farewell to Bayern Munich. The 27-year-old winger moves to Galatasaray Istanbul and has signed a three-year contract there. According to the club, Sané will receive a guaranteed net content of 9 million euros per season, supplemented by a net loyalty bonus of 3 million euros. The change takes place, although Sané is still under contract with Bavaria until June 30, 2025. However, he will take part in the World Cup before he can accept his new challenge and will travel to the USA on Friday to meet with his new teammates in Orlando.

Sané has decided not to extend his contract in Munich, which makes the decision for Galatasaray all the more clear. In a YouTube livestream, the player expressed that the good atmosphere and the great interest of both the club and the fans were decisive for his change. He has ambitions to achieve a lot with Galatasaray and, according to reports, could earn more than the reduced conditions that Bayern had offered to him. Sané's valued salary at Galatasaray is around 15 million euros annually.

Review of Sané's time in Munich

leroy Sané leaves the Bundesliga after five years, in which he joined Bayern Munich after a change from Manchester City in 2020 for 49 million euros. During this time he played 220 games, scored 61 goals and prepared 55 more goals. Nevertheless, Sané was often perceived as inconsistent and could not meet the high expectations that he had previously aroused in the Premier League. These factors were likely to have made his decision to move to Istanbul.

The change from Sané can also be viewed in the context of salary structures in football. Bayern Munich recently invested considerable sums in the salaries of their players. A report emphasizes that Bavaria spends 125 million euros more for salaries than Borussia Dortmund. This question of salary distribution and investments in player services remains a central topic in the discussion about modern football.

With his move to Galatasaray, Sané closes a chapter in the Bundesliga and entered a new phase of his career, in which he hopes to be able to stabilize and become successful.
