An international star at Bayern Munich has sent shockwaves through the transfer market by terminating contract renewal talks with the German club.
In what the publication calls an “unexpected turn,” the player, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season, has reportedly piqued the interest of various clubs once again; reports indicate Barcelona is most interested.
From a Barcelona point of view, the timing of the situation cannot be better, given that the player has recently switched agents and found a new one who has very close ties with the Catalan powers.
Barcelona has been keeping a keen eye on the situation and has yet to make a formal offer; however, the pulse is strong after earlier interest by the former president, according to Diario Sport.
But now, with the likelihood of a free transfer possible, this opportunity changes the whole situation.
The agent is very well known and respected in Catalonia, if even slightly, was able to persuade the player to go there is a good chance that not only would it influence a transfer, but could also help smooth the scenario beyond normal limits.
After all, the agent also represents the head coach and a key striker to the Blaugrana’s success.
The coach also has experience with the player when they played at Bayern Munich.
The player is Leroy Sane, a winger who has often been highly valued by Barcelona. Sane, who originally agreed to a pay cut, has rejected Bayern’s latest offer, and the two clubs have become stalled, with Bayern refusing to change its position.
Sane’s new agent is expected to market him to several elite clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal, but Sane’s love for Spain keeps Barcelona as the frontrunner.
With the transfer window fast approaching, the 29-year-old’s next move will be in the spotlight.
For Barcelona to capture Sane on a free transfer could be a coup that strengthens their attack with a coach who knows how to get the best from him.
