Leroy Sané had apparently forced another transfer to Bayern in winter because he was afraid that his big dream might burst. But now there is a lightning comeback.
- Leroy Sané has been associated with Bayern for months
- His cruciate ligament injury prevented a transfer last summer
- In the winter, Sané allegedly forced his farewell from Manchester City again
Update from February 27: It has been more than seven months now that Leroy Sané was no longer in a game on the lawn. On 4 August, the offensive star contracted a cruciate ligament and has been out since then.
Seven months without a competitive game is a long period. Especially when there is a big tournament coming up in summer. After the disembarkation shortly before the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the EM 2020 is Sané's big dream. For fear of missing this tournament too, the 24-year-old apparently pushed for a change to Bayern in the winter.
As Sport Bild reports, Sané was afraid that he would not get enough time in the second half under Pep Guardiola and would therefore lose his place in Joachim Löw's squad. As you know, nothing came of the winter deal, but the DFB team continues to build on Sané. Apparently there could even be a lightning comeback for the international matches at the end of March. Germany will face Spain on March 26 and Italy against March 31.
"I also heard that Leroy is making great strides," said national team manager Oliver Bierhoff in Sport Bild : "I know that the coaches are in an exchange, but I can still tell if it's enough for the international trip in March not say. But the sooner Leroy comes back, the better. We are of course really looking forward to him. ”
Will the last sentence be heard from someone in charge at FC Bayern soon? The record champions also had to digest an injury shock recently. Robert Lewandowski was injured against Chelsea and has been out for weeks.
Leroy Sane: raid on player adviser - transfer to Bayern Munich before the end?
Update from February 24: The player adviser to Leroy Sane and Jerome Boateng is in the sights of the Spanish authorities. Europol is also said to have intervened in the investigation. Accordingly, there is suspicion that Fali Ramadani (57) evaded taxes and laundered money. Of course, the 57-year-old disputes the allegations. Rather, the visit to the police was a mere routine measure: “I had a normal tax check, which everyone has to do. We'll see what comes out of it, ”he tells the picture.
The Spanish newspaper Ultima Hor a reports otherwise. The visit of the officials is said to have taken a full six hours. A long time for a "normal tax audit". The police apparently are investigating whether Eastern European entrepreneurs have laundered millions of dollars in money through a Mallorcan company.
Ramadani will have to testify before the criminal court in Madrid next week. The confusion could have major consequences for Bayern. Finally, Ramadani should handle a transfer from Leroy Sane to Munich. Possible criminal proceedings in Spain could result in the game advisor being blocked until further notice. The transfer negotiations would thus be made more difficult. An initial contact on the part of Bavaria's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is said to have already been made. Leroy Sane was the only topic.
