Bayern Munich remain resolute in Leroy Sane contract offer amid new demands

Bayern Munich are thought to remain resolute in their stance on Leroy Sane’s contract offer amid news surrounding a sudden change of agent during negotiations.

Sane has been warned Bayern will not improve the new contract terms amid new demands from the winger following a surprise agent switch.

Sane and Bayern were close to an agreement over a contract extension for the Germany international, who recently suggested progress was being made before suddenly swapping his representative to Pini Zahavi.

The 29-year-old has just a month to run on his current contract and will be a free agent come the end of June should he fail to sign a new deal soon.

The change has slowed down contract talks, as Sane was reportedly close to an agreement with the club over a deal that would see him accept a pay cut.

Now, however, his new agent is reportedly demanding a huge signing bonus similar to the €20m they agreed to pay Alphonso Davies for his recent extension.

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl has further revealed the club’s desire to reach an agreement, but says it wouldn’t be right of Sane to change the terms of the deal.

“Our wish would be to continue. If [the financial terms] were to be exceeded it would be very difficult,” he said.

“There’s no bad blood on my part, not even with Leroy.”

He added: “We thought we were already very far along. [Increasing the demands] would not be right, otherwise it would become fashionable.”

The sudden turn of events plays right into the hands of Sane’s Premier League suitors Arsenal, who are said to be interested in bringing the former Manchester City winger back to England

The uncertainty around Sane’s situation at Bayern could see him leave the club this summer if an agreement is not reached.
