The Leroy Sane transfer saga has taken yet another twist, with Arsenal now making significant moves to secure the Bayern Munich winger’s signature.With his contract set to expire this summer, Sane is poised to become a free agent—and speculation over his next destination has been intensifying. Tottenham Hotspur had been widely viewed as frontrunners, with recent reports strongly linking them to the 29-year-old.🚨 It appears that Leroy Sane’s chances of signing a new contract at Bayern Munich are slim & Arsenal have now taken ‘concrete steps’ in signing the player.

Arsenal are now making a serious push to snatch the German international from under their rivals’ noses. Just last week, CFBayern Insider Christian Falk revealed that Sane’s representative, Pini Zahavi, was in favor of a move to Spurs for his client.While Bayern have been in talks with Zahavi over a possible contract extension, Tottenham seemed to hold the upper hand in negotiations. Their return to the Champions League and Zahavi’s close relationship with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy only added weight to that possibility.Tottenham eyes Bayern star ahead of Champions League returnYet, Arsenal’s interest appears to be more than just surface-level. According to The Times, Mikel Arteta has been seeking to strengthen his attack, with Sane—once a Premier League standout at Manchester City—emerging as a key target.Now, Falk has offered a fresh update, stating that Arsenal have opened discussions with Zahavi over a potential transfer. With contract renewal talks at Bayern showing little progress, the winger is increasingly inclined to make a Premier League comeback.Sane’s record—61 goals and 55 assists across all competitions—speaks to his quality. Still, Bayern fans might not be overly disheartened should he decide to leave, especially with the club already eyeing reinforcements on the wing. Cody Gakpo of Liverpool has been mentioned, while Rafael Leao is another name in the frame.(🟢) NEW:Bayern Munich are keeping tabs on Cody Gakpo ahead of a potential summer move.[@LewisSteele_ & @DominicKing_DM] pic.twitter.com/0IEwN6Q8eU— The Anfield Talk (@TheAnfieldTalk) May 28, 2025 Family considerations are also reportedly playing a role in Sane’s thinking. A move to London would allow him to stay closer to home, making both Arsenal and Tottenham appealing destinations.As things stand, it looks like a north London tug-of-war is brewing for Sane’s services, and his departure from the Allianz Arena seems more and more likely by the day.##NAJAVA_MECA_8957718##
