Leroy Sane transfer deadline set as Man City's Premier League rivals discover summer timeline
The former Manchester City star could return to the Premier League this summer.
Bayern Munich have reportedly told Leroy Sane he must make a decision on his future before the Club World Cup amid links with a move to Premier League sides Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal.
The 29-year-old's contract at the Allianz Arena expires at the end of next month and he is yet to pen a new deal. After scoring 13 goals and registering six assists in 45 appearances during the 2024/25 season, the former Manchester City man is not short of potential suitors.
All three London clubs can offer the Germany international Champions League football next season and they are keen to bring him back to the Premier League after his success at the Etihad Stadium.
Sane spent four seasons at City between 2016 and 2020 and developed into one of the best wingers in world football.
Manchester City have released their home kit for next season - featuring the reimagining of the sash running through their shirt. For the first time ever, the famous City blue will have a white sash through it as Puma put a new twist on an old favourite.
He won eight trophies at the club before returning to Germany after the 2019/20 campaign but he remains a popular figure among the fans, with audible cheers at the Etihad Stadium when he appeared during Kevin De Bruyne's farewell video after the win against Bournemouth last week.
While there is no suggestion City will look to re-sign Sane this summer, it looks likely he will be back playing in the Premier League next term.
A report from Sky Sports claims Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign Sane this summer, while reports in Germany from BILD say the Europa League champions have the edge in the race over the Blues and the Gunners.
Sane is said to be spending time at his London home with his wife after the end of the season and that could become his permanent home this summer.
Bayern's first game in the Club World Cup is on June 15 and the Bundesliga champions want to know Sane's decision before they jet off to the USA on June 10.
