Leroy Sané is one of many Bayern Munich players facing an uncertain future in Bavaria as 2024 draws to a close.
Sane has featured in less than 1,000 minutes of action so far, falling behind the likes of Michael Olise, Mathys Tel and Jamal Musiala in the pecking order.
The Germany international has clearly fallen out of favor with new manager Vincent Kompany and is unlikely to extend his contract, which expires at the end of the season.
Sané prefers to move to Barcelona
As uncertainty over his future drags on, many expect Sané to leave Bayern Munich on a free transfer next summer.
However, despite interest from top English clubs, there appears to be a chance that Sané could end up at Barcelona next season.
This is according to Mundo Deportivo, suggesting that Sané is prioritizing a move to Barcelona, as he looks to take the next step in his career.
Sané believes that the Camp Nou could be an ideal destination for his development, especially after a couple of barren years at Bayern Munich, where his growth was hindered.
This comes at a time when Sané has been courted by the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.
Barcelona, for its part, has been looking for a new winger for quite some time. They have been linked with a move for top summer target Nico Williams.
Leroy Sané, in this sense, could prove to be a profitable alternative, although it must be noted that the German has not lived up to his expectations at Bayern.
Despite being involved in over 100 goals in less than 200 competitive matches, Sane has often lacked consistency and underperformed in decisive matches.
Not to mention, the German could command a considerable salary, which could alter Barcelona’s new salary structure. With this in mind, it remains doubtful that Barca would be interested in making a move for the striker this summer.
