As the Germans often do, Bayern meticulously counted every penny. Al Hilal came in late. Arsenal asked for patience. And Galatasaray? They entered the race promising the world — and by the looks of it, they’ve convinced Leroy Sane to make the move to the Bosphorus.According to German media, Sane has definitively turned down Bayern’s latest offer — even though the club raised their salary proposal from 10 millions to 12 millions annually, with potential bonuses pushing it up to 15 millions.🚨🟡🔴 BREAKING | Leroy #Sané has now reached a full verbal agreement with Galatasaray!The final details are being negotiated in Istanbul now. The free transfer is close.@SkySportDE 🇩🇪 pic.twitter.com/czWey1XVJV— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) June 11, 2025 But that figure was gross, meaning after taxes, the 29-year-old winger would pocket roughly half. Galatasaray, on the other hand, made a bolder move. Reports say they offered Sane a three-year deal worth €10 million net per season. That’s a significant difference. Plus, in Istanbul, he’ll be a guaranteed starter — unlike in Munich, where his role often fluctuated.Still, Sane managed to finish the season with 13 goals and six assists, and Bayern did want to keep him. But the German international has decided it’s time for a new challenge, even if that means missing out on the inaugural Club World Cup. Bayern are still trying to persuade him to take part, but he’s not expected to board the plane to the U.S.Technique 💯 @leroy_sane || #UCL pic.twitter.com/tyDAyrwx51— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) July 3, 2023 Instead of heading west, Sane will go east — where he’s set to form a fiery attacking duo with Mauro Icardi, once the Argentine recovers from the injury that sidelined him for most of last season. If Galatasaray somehow manages to keep Victor Osimhen — although that’s far from certain, with Al Hilal offering him a staggering 35 millions per year — the Turkish champions would have an attack worthy of the Champions League. Even without Osimhen, they’re shaping up to be a serious force.##NAJAVA_MECA_8973580##
