Liverpool may have the upper hand in any negotiations for Leroy Sane this summer.

Christian Falk reported that the German international is opposed to a potential return to Manchester City amid alleged interest from their league rivals.

“The big question around Leroy has always been about his mentality. This was a big discussion with Pep Guardiola,” the German journalist wrote in his exclusive column with CaughtOffside.

“Speaking of which, there were rumours around Manchester City also being interested in the player – I heard this was an option, but I also heard that Sane doesn’t want to go back there.

“Jurgen Klopp is a coach who can get his players to buy into the work rate you need at Liverpool. This would be an intelligent move for Liverpool to get Sane, as he has everything; if you can add a working mentality to this (which Jurgen Klopp can perhaps give him), he would be perfect for Liverpool.

“Leroy Sane made a huge development at Bayern Munich regarding his work rate in recent years, tracking back in addition to his offensive output. Now you see why he’s so good now, as he’s also doing this job.”

This comes amid reports of ongoing Saudi interest in Mo Salah following a failed attempt to land the No.11’s signature in the prior summer transfer window.

Could Liverpool really let their record-breaking man go?

It seems unfathomable that Jurgen Klopp’s side would even consider parting ways with a player that has brought a fanbase so much joy since his arrival in 2017.

The record-breaking wide man’s current terms are nonetheless set to expire in 2025, which raises serious questions over his club’s intentions regarding a potential extension.

Liverpool could, one imagine, secure some serious cash for the 31-year-old next year, which would be pumped back into the squad.

That said, it’s hard to imagine any player, even Bayern’s Sane, being capable of filling his boots at Anfield.

Leroy Sane’s contract is a priority for Bayern Munich amid interest from England

Bayern Munich have many contract situations that they need to discuss internally and with player’s representatives, with Leroy Sane falling into this category. Sane is out of contract in the summer of 2025 and it is a crucial moment for Bayern as they still need to discuss a new deal with the player.

From what I understand, Bayern’s plan is to make a very important proposal to Sane as the winger has been one of the German club’s best players this season. The new contract offered to the player will obviously add more years to his stint at the club but it will also see his salary increased, which will include bonuses. Bayern are currently preparing this proposal and they will try hard to convince him to stay.

There is interest in Sane from England but it is nothing advanced. This is why it is now a priority for Bayern to offer the player a new contract.

Could Trevoh Chalobah reunite with Thomas Tuchel in January?

I have told you multiple times that Trevoh Chalobah will not stay at Chelsea beyond the January transfer window as he wants to play regular football. The idea of the club and player are in line and they will try to find the best solution for everyone during the upcoming transfer window.

There are rumours about many clubs being interested in the player from England and Germany. I want to clarify that for Bayern Munich, Chalobah is no longer a priority. He was a priority on Deadline Day this summer as he had previously played under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea but the deal collapsed because of the different closing times of the transfer windows in each country.

There are possibilities in other countries for Chalobah in January, including England, so let’s see what happens.

What does the Premier League’s latest decision mean for Ruben Neves to Newcastle?

Premier League clubs voted against a temporary ban on loan deals between associated clubs for the January transfer window. This means Newcastle United, for instance, could sign players from clubs also owned by their owners Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).

There have been rumours of Newcastle eyeing up a move for Al-Hilal’s Ruben Neves ahead of the January transfer window but I can say that there’s nothing going on with this deal at this stage. I can’t predict anything yet for the upcoming transfer window but there are no talks so far, just interest and appreciation. The situation remains very quiet but let’s see in December/January.

Man United target Jean-Clair Todibo has been scouted by many clubs

There have been rumours about Newcastle and Chelsea being interested in Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo and I can say that he’s been scouted by many clubs. Man United made contact with the player’s representatives last summer, while Newcastle were tracking him in June then nothing happened. At the moment, there is not something concrete as he is a key player for Nice, therefore, it is not easy at all to imagine a deal in January.

In other news…

Gabriel Moscardo – Chelsea tried to sign Gabriel Moscardo in August for their first team, but there was no agreement. Liverpool, Arsenal and three more clubs have been monitoring the player with their scouts but there’s still no advanced negotiations, not even with Chelsea now.

Andrey Santos – Chelsea have not held talks with Nottingham Forest about Santos’ lack of playing time. Of course, Chelsea can’t be happy with the current situation but nothing will be discussed before December when the club will decide on many things, including Santos’ future.

Alejandro Balde – Balde signed a new deal with Barcelona in September so there’s nothing at all regarding a move away. He’s a key player for Barça and his extension showed the player that the club want him to be a key part of their current and future projects.

Danny Ings – Following rumours that Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke could replace Danny Ings at West Ham, I can say that Solanke is appreciated by the London club. He’s one of the players they like but no decision has been made yet as it is still early. I have no information about the future of Ings yet.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Bayern Munich are planning to offer Leroy Sane a huge new contract with a salary increase to keep him at the German champions amid interest from the Premier League. 

Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, Romano explains that Bayern Munich have many contract situations that they need to discuss internally and with player’s representatives as 2024 is on the horizon.

With a contract expiring in 2025, Sane is a priority for the Bundesliga giants and Bayern are set to offer the winger a new deal to extend his stay at the Allianz Arena with a significant rise in salary – which will include bonuses.

The German international has been one of the best players in Europe this season and with little time remaining on his current contract, clubs in England have been monitoring the winger, with Liverpool and Man City rumoured to be keen on the player.

Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane has been linked with a move to the Premier League next summer but the winger has now commented on his future to address recent speculation.  

According to Bayern Munich insider Christian Falk, Man City have joined Liverpool in expressing their interest in Sane ahead of the summer transfer window in 2024 as the German star is out of contract at the Bundesliga champions in 2025.

If a new contract cannot be agreed, next summer would be the ideal time to sell the 27-year-old but Sane has said that he is not focused on that right now.

The Bayern Munich star said about his future via Fabrizio Romano: “I haven’t given it any thought yet. The club wants to have talks, but at the moment I want to focus on this season.

“FC Bayern remains my first point of contact, there’s no doubt about that”.

Sane has been one of Thomas Tuchel’s best players this season at Bayern and has contributed significantly to their success so far, scoring nine goals and assisting a further seven across 18 matches in all competitions.

It Bundesliga giants will want to keep him and are certain to approach him for contract talks soon.

If that doesn’t work out, Man City and Liverpool are two incredible options to have and it seems that both Premier League giants have serious interest in the Germany international.

It’s not just on the pitch where Man City and Liverpool go head-to-head, but in the transfer market too, as the pair of Premier League giants will both want to secure the best talent available.

Pep Guardiola’s side, being current Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup holders, have obvious cachet for any player, however, the depth of talent that they have within their squad, whilst generally a positive, can work against them.

Players want to play and, invariably, at a club such as City, where there is so much competition for places, a regular starting berth isn’t always possible.

That’s where Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool could benefit as the Reds could almost guarantee that if a player is doing the business they will play.

There’s still rotation issues of course, as any big club needs to have options, and those are the sorts of decisions players need to factor in when deciding whether to move or not.

It’s a decision that also potentially faces Leroy Sane. According to CaughtOffside columnist, Christian Falk, posting on X (formerly Twitter), the player is being sought by his old club and Liverpool for a transfer in the summer of 2024.

By then the German will be 28 years of age, and arguably in his prime as a football player.

If he continues showing his current form – nine goals and seven assists in 15 games in all competitions per WhoScored, then whomever ends up with the player will have a real asset within their ranks.

According to The Sun, Manchester City and Liverpool are set to battle it out for the signature of Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane.

Christian Falk from BILD Sport has reported that both clubs are interested in the winger, and could make a move for him in summer 2024.

This would see the 27-year-old return to the Premier League, where he won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, three EFL Cups, and two FA Community Shields.

Since joining Bayern Munich, he has won three Bundesliga titles, two DFL-Supercups, one UEFA Super Cup, and one FIFA Club World Cup.

The German international has made 135 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions, scoring 47 goals and providing 44 assists.

But it is his hot return to form this season that has City and Liverpool hunting his signature, with 18 games played this season for Bayern Munich in all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing seven assists.

This is already only eight goal contributions behind his tally in the 2022/23 campaign for Bayern, where he achieved 14 goals and 10 assists in 44 appearances.

Pep Guardiola has taken notice of the incredible form Leroy Sane has shown in a Bayern Munich shirt this season and the Man City boss is keen to bring him back to the Etihad in 2024. 

The winger has been one of Thomas Tuchel’s best players this season and has contributed significantly to their success, scoring nine goals and assisting a further seven across 18 matches in all competitions.

According to Bayern Munich insider Christian Falk, Man City have joined Liverpool in expressing their interest in Sane ahead of the summer transfer window in 2024.

This is a big blow for Jurgen Klopp because if the German star is to move, the 27-year-old would likely return to the Etihad over one of their Premier League rivals.

Sane spent a successful four years at Man City between 2016 and 2020, going on to win every trophy available in England.

The Germany international played 135 times for the Manchester club and at the end of his time there, he left having contributed 39 goals and 48 assists.

It is uncertain if a return to Man City interests Sane but Guardiola is still an admirer and would happily have him back should he fail to sign a new deal with the German giants.

Freund went on to praise Sane, saying this is the best he has been at Bayern Munich so far, and stating “He’s one of the players on whom we want to build the future of the team”.

According to Transfermarkt, Sane’s current contract expires on June 30th, 2025, therefore giving Bayern time to agree a new deal with the German international.

Sane has played 18 games for Bayern this season in all competitions, scoring nine goals, providing seven assists and totalling 1,474 minutes of football.

This is his best start to a season in a Bayern shirt since joining the club in 2020, last season Sane scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists in 44 games, if Sane can replicate his opening 18 games output he would have provided 32 goal contributions in 36 games, which would be his best campaign in Germany.

Bayern sit 2nd in the Bundesliga on 29 points, two points behind 1st place Bayer Leverkusen on 31. In the opening 11 games of the campaign, Bayern have won nine and drawn two, they are yet to lose a game in the league.

Barcelona are reportedly closely monitoring Leroy Sane’s situation as the Bayern Munich winger’s contract is set to expire in 2025.

Recent talks between Sane’s representatives and Bayern have yet to lead to an agreement, prompting Barca and Real Madrid’s interest in the versatile winger.

Xavi Hernandez is actively observing the winger market, especially as Ferran Torres and Raphinha currently lack consistency in their form leading Barca facing a challenge in finding a reliable left winger, and Sané’s profile fits well with the team’s needs. Despite previous interest in Sané, financial constraints prevented Barcelona from making a move in the past, per Spanish outlet Sport.

Leroy Sané is in exceptional form at Bayern, showcasing his ability as one of the most dynamic wide forwards. With nine goals and five assists in 17 games, Sané has reinstated himself as one of the world’s best wingers, after overcoming some bad injuries.

While contract renewal discussions with Bayern are ongoing, the outcome remains uncertain, making Sané a potential target for top clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid who could battle it out for the German international’s signature next summer.

Liverpool may find themselves struggling to find an elite option to succeed Mo Salah next season should the Egyptian part ways in the summer.

Christian Falk reported that, despite links with Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane, the German is particularly well-settled in Bavaria. On top of that, he would otherwise only consider the more densely populated cities across Europe for a move.

“More bad news for Liverpool: The Reds are rumoured to be eyeing Leroy Sané as Mohamed Salah’s successor,” BILD’s head of football wrote in his exclusive column with CaughtOffside.

“However, I have heard that Sané’s family have finally settled in Munich and are now very happy in the city.

“A move to Liverpool seems difficult to imagine at the moment; the family would be more tempted by the metropolises of London, Madrid and Barcelona.

“However, an extension at FC Bayern currently seems the most likely option.”

This comes amid reported interest from the Saudi Arabian top-flight following what was an unsuccessful attempt to inspire an exit.

Will Liverpool even want to sell Salah in 2024?

It’s a question worth posing given how both player and club seem to still be mutually benefitting from their relationship.

The 31-year-old (set to turn 32 next year) has already racked up an impressive 14 goal contributions in as many games (across all competitions) for Jurgen Klopp’s men in the 2023/24 campaign.

It begs a further question: are Salah’s best days at Anfield truly behind him?

With that in mind, it’s difficult to imagine that there won’t be those at L4 championing the prospect of a contract extension for one of the most valuable assets in world football.
