According to a report from Liverpool Echo, Leroy Sane intends to postpone any decision regarding his future at Bayern Munich until after this summer’s European Championships. Despite tentative links to Liverpool in recent months, with his contract running until 2025, a recent update indicates that Sane is delaying any decision on his next move and is unlikely to do so until at least the end of this season.
Sane’s Impressive Numbers In Bundesliga
Sane is having a strong season at Bayern, delivering impressive performances on the right side of their attack. The 27-year-old has contributed nine goals and nine assists in 21 matches across all competitions this season.
This player from Essen has been a consistent presence on the right flank, averaging 3.1 shots, 3.3 key passes, and 4.2 dribbles per game in the Bundesliga. He has displayed accuracy in his wide-area distribution, completing 84.5% of his passes in league matches (stats from whoscored).
Despite his contract at Bayern expiring in 2025, securing him at a reduced price for the Merseyside club might prove challenging as he’s currently in his prime.
Should Liverpool Boss Jurgen Klopp Move In For The Bundesliga Star?
Sane possesses exceptional pace that effortlessly bypasses defenders in wide areas. His adept dribbling skills enable him to craft clear opportunities for teammates in the attacking third. As a German international, he demonstrates both power and precision in long-range shooting, maintaining consistent offensive contributions from the flanks.
Though primarily a right-winger, Sane showcases versatility, comfortably slotting in as a left-sided wide player or even an attacking midfielder when required. Consequently, his potential acquisition in 2024 would significantly bolster Liverpool’s squad.
Adding Sane would inject more speed and attacking prowess into Jurgen Klopp’s Merseyside squad. His presence could elevate the team’s ability to vie for major trophies in the upcoming seasons. Moreover, should Mohamed Salah contemplate a departure amid rumors of a move to Saudi, Sane could serve as a formidable replacement. Hence, pursuing an established winger like Sane seems a logical move for the Reds if they can orchestrate a deal by the end of this season.
