Exciting news for Tottenham fans! Spurs have reportedly been given the stunning opportunity to add Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane to their roster, potentially hijacking Arsenal's long-time interest in the elite forward. What makes this deal even sweeter? He's set to be a free agent this summer!
The 29-year-old winger's contract with Bayern expires next month, and despite Sane’s impressive tenure with the Bavarians, they haven’t been able to agree on a new deal—Sane’s camp has even engaged super-agent Pini Zahavi to negotiate!
Sane, known for lighting up the Premier League during his time with Manchester City, has a whopping 83 goal contributions in just 139 appearances. His accolades include two Premier League titles, which underline his capability to compete at the highest level.
Now, with both Tottenham and Arsenal having received contact regarding a potential move for the talented German international, the race is on! Arsenal has been interested in Sane for quite some time, especially given his history playing under Mikel Arteta.
Tottenham enjoys a solid relationship with Bayern Munich, which could play a significant role in facilitating this transfer after Harry Kane and Eric Dier’s moves to Germany in 2023. Sane’s versatility to operate on either flank makes him a prime target for a Spurs side eager to bolster their attacking options this summer.
However, there's a catch. While acquiring Sane on a free transfer sounds like a dream, his salary demands could pose a challenge for Tottenham. Currently, Son Heung-min is their highest earner at £190,000-a-week, with other stars like James Maddison close behind.
Sane's last salary offer from Bayern was approximately £160,000-a-week, excluding bonuses. While this figure might be within Tottenham’s reach, his age could influence the decision as the club balances financial prudence with ambition.
Interestingly, if Spurs can offload Cristian Romero's contract in a potential move to Spain, it could free up more funds. Plus, a projected £100 million boost from returning to the Champions League has the club feeling optimistic.
Much hinges on Sane’s decision, but Tottenham will undoubtedly be wary of Arsenal’s well-established interest and Arteta’s connections with the player.
In a twist of fate, if Sane makes the switch to Spurs, he could face his old club Bayern in a friendly at the Allianz Arena as the teams prepare for the new season in August. It’s a thrilling time for fans on both sides!
