Barcelona set their sights on Bayern Munich winger as low-cost summer reinforcement: report

Barcelona has not hidden its desire to sign a top-level left back for its next sporting project. The plan is to make a significant investment, provided they can resolve their salary cap issues.

Names such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Rafael Leao and Nico Williams, among others, have been touted as potential targets, while, more recently, Liverpool’s Luis Diaz has also been talked about as an option.

Leroy Sané also on the agenda

However, Barcelona are also exploring lower-cost alternatives, one of them being Leroy Sané, whose future at Bayern Munich is uncertain according to SPORT.

The German international’s name is on the table, given that his contract at the Allianz Arena expires at the end of the season, although the player’s priority remains to remain in the Bundesliga.

Sané has been in talks with the Bayern management for several months to try to reach an agreement on a contract extension. The main problem is that Bayern now have many attacking options and the German international has become a less urgent priority.

The former Manchester City ace’s situation is therefore under review, with the Bavarian giants considering his departure unless he is willing to take a significant pay cut.

Sané, who scored on Friday against Leipzig, was questioned again about his future and confirmed that negotiations had been underway for some time but that no agreement had been reached.

While he emphasized his desire to stay at Bayern, his representatives have begun to explore other options should it become necessary to look for a new club.

There is no lack of interest, but the Flick factor could be key

In the Premier League, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United have expressed interest in Sané, and Barcelona are also keeping an eye on the situation.

The 28-year-old was offered to Barcelona two summers ago when his agent was Fali Ramadani, but the deal proved unviable at the time.

Sane shares a special bond with Hansi Flick, who has been a key influence on his career. The Barcelona coach knows very well the quality and talent of the winger. However, the blaugrana We haven’t made any formal moves so far.

If Sané broke off negotiations with Bayern and was available, a decision would be made based on the team’s needs.
