Leroy Sane snubs Liverpool, Chelsea and Barcelona in favour of signing Bayern Munich contract extension

According to Sport, Barca were exploring options to recruit the 28-year-old but the former Manchester City man has decided to stay put rather than moving to the Blaugrana. His contract expires in 2025 but the German international appears to be nearing a contract extension at the Bundesliga outfit.

After showing glimpses of his quality at City before his departure in 2020, Sane has developed into a key player for Bayern and is one of the first names on the teamsheet. The fact that he is attracting interest from other top European teams highlights he has taken his game to the next level.

Sane reportedly changed his agents in recent weeks, fuelling speculation he would be on the move. However, the report says his decision to ditch Fali Ramadan and recruit Christian Schmid, who is Bayern team-mate Jamal Musiala's representative, may be key in this Bayern deal.

Off the pitch, talks between Bayern and Sane are likely to continue in the coming weeks and months. On the pitch, the German giants, who sit second in the Bundesliga table, take on league leaders Bayer Leverkusen next weekend.
