Sané to Bayern? Good buddy Gündogan reveals details: "He knows what he wants"

Ilkay Gündogan commented on his buddy Leroy Sane. The current situation could accommodate the FCB wish transfer.

• Leroy Sané is still the  transfer target of FC Bayern Munich *.
• The Manchester City star presents his impressive fitness in the "home office" after a long downtime due to a cruciate ligament rupture.
• Transfermarkt : Will the German international move from the Premier League to the Bundesliga ?

Update from April 21: The ManCity stars Leroy Sané * and Ilkay Gündogan are in quarantine, but can still exchange ideas with each other due to their living situation and joint coaches. 

As Gündogan now reveals in a Sky interview, the two national players train together several times a week and motivate each other to do their Facetime units. “Most of the time it's my turn first so Leroy can get some sleep. So far it has worked out quite well and we are there regularly and try to discipline ourselves. ”

Leroy Sane: Advantage through EM shift

When asked about Sane's fitness status, Gündogan stated that his 24-year-old colleague was in a kind of curse / blessing situation. Although he would have trained with the team again and a comeback would not have taken long, the advantage was the postponement of the European Championship . 

“The fact that everyone else can't play is not too bad for him, to be honest. The EM has now also been postponed. These are all things that give him a little more time. ”The situation is similar with Bayern central defender Niklas Süle , who would also have missed the European Championship. 

Sane switch to Bayern? Gündogan does not interfere

The central midfielder did not yet want to reveal whether Sane and Sule not only remain fellow sufferers, but may soon play together for the German record champions . The friends would not talk about such topics. Sane had to decide that for himself. 

“I think that normality will return in the next few weeks and things will calm down again. Then he will develop clearer thoughts and make a sensible decision. I already estimate that he knows what he wants. " 

The German record champions pulled the Corona brake on another Bayern Munich transfer of their choice - and the change is said to be over. 

In video from home: Sané with a secret message to FC Bayern?

Update of April 20:  "The transfer market is currently closed." The player agent Reza Fazeli (including Emre Can, Mario Götze) explained to the kicker  (Monday edition) - and asked to adjust the transfer time, "and until mid or late October (to ) expand".

What does this mean for FC Bayern's transfer efforts for Lery Sané * ? That the ManCity star would only join the record champions in the middle of the season if they changed?

Will the Bundesliga play long before empty ranks? A well-known scientist has now given her forecast. 

Update of April 19: Leroy Sané from Manchester City is apparently back in the juice after his cruciate ligament rupture in August 2019 - to the delight of Bayern Munich ?

FC Bayern's transfer goal: Leroy Sané is pain free again

The German international posted a video on Instagram showing him at the "Living Room Cup", a kind of home challenge for his supplier Nike.

Check out this post on Instagram

It's Living Room Cup show time and it's so good to be back at it ... think you got what it takes to beat me at my Side Step? 100 to beat… Prove it and use #livingroomcup #playinside @nike @nikeberlin

A post shared by Leroy Sané (@ leroysane19) on Apr 19, 2020 at 1:59 p.m. PDT

In the video, the 24-year-old attacker does 100 side steps over two sports shoes - in 45 seconds! An extraordinary record. And a message to Bavaria ? Finally, the ex-Schalke is under discussion with the German record champions as a potential new addition.

As the picture reports, the tempo dribbler is now painless - and is said to have worked hard on its fitness program even during the corona break. His knee is resilient again. Will he soon prove that in Munich ?

Striking: Sané did the exercises in front of his oversized walk-in shoe cabinet at home. Apparently someone has a shoe tick ...

FC Bayern: Havertz, Sané and Werner in conversation - Marcel Reif talks about speculation

Update from April 17: Marcel Reif now illuminates the open questions about the courted trio in his picture podcast "Reif is live" . Who is FC Bayern going to catch ? Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Leroy Sané or just all?

He sees the least chance of a Bayern change with Timo Werner , but he sounds very convinced of Kai Havertz . The only 20-year-old Leverkusener even elicits the commentator icon from the creation of words: “ decades of talent ”.

Kai Havertz on FC Bayern: Reif raves about the mega-talent and expects a transfer if ...

For Reif, one thing is certain: Havertz is young, talented, fits every offensive position and " makes almost every club better at the highest level ." If the transfer should not go to absurd heights, the football specialist is therefore certain: "Then will bring Bayern Havertz . "

Havertz, Sané and Werner in Bavaria focus.

Reif also assumes that the price question will be tradable. Barcelona and Manchester City are apparently out of the poker for the offensive talent and the corona crisis will drive the sums down a bit. 

FC Bayern: Leroy Sané is also coming - For Marcel ripe it depends on Kai Havertz

For him, the chances of a Sané transfer that is ultimately still happy are definitely not zero. Although Reif sneers a little at the constant back and forth , he does not believe that the FCB would simply put the topic aside. Nevertheless, the status of the ex-sloop doesn't seem to be the highest . The change from Leroy Sane depends so mature, at which Kai Havertz .

"If it is available and can be represented, even in combination with Havertz , Sané is still an issue at Bayern ", Marcel Reif declares.

Meanwhile, the Munich company is still trying to extend the contract with David Alaba, but the talks are currently on hold - due to Lewandowski consultant Zahavi.

Havertz, Sané and Werner in Bavaria focus - Didi Hamann makes it clear: "I would not get him"

Update of April 16, 2020:  In search of reinforcements for the offensive, a trio is traded at Bayern -  Kai Havertz, Leroy Sané and Timo Werner. However, former Bayern player Didi Hamann is not convinced of the latter two options , as he describes in the  kicker (Thursday edition). Werner does not fit into the Bayern system alongside the offensive forces Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller, Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman, says the two-time German champion. "So I would fundamentally not get him," said Hamann. Instead, the Reds could use the Bundesliga elsewhere.

Hamann was also skeptical about Sané. In football, he was “a win for every team. He brings everything with him, speed, dribbling, shooting technique ”. However, the 24-year-old does not call up the skills on a regular basis. In addition, there has recently been confusion about the international player's change of advisor. Sané also comes back from an injury break. " For me, the question marks predominate with Sané, " summed up Hamann.

The 46-year-old ultimately advises his ex-club to sign Kai Havertz. Because “he is smart, down-to-earth and takes responsibility from an early age. You can shape the team of the future around him. ”

Update from April 15, 2020: Football is at rest during the Corona break, but away from the grass it is down to business. This also applies to the Leroy Sané case , where there is now an indication that the fans of FC Bayern - and possibly also the sporting leadership - should cause noisy ears.

Leroy Sané: Consultant confirms intent to switch to Bayern

The winger under contract with ManCity is far from over with a move to Munich, his new advisor is flirting towards the metropolis on the Isar. Bayern Munich is the only club in Germany “that Leroy can imagine as the next step in his career. There he sees the prerequisites for being able to achieve his big goal of winning the Champions League, ”explains Damir Smoljan, managing director of the agency in SportBild . 

In addition, according to the report, Leroy Sanés's commitment in January to move to Bayern. The kicker recently reported that interest in a transfer of the German international to FCB had flattened on both sides (see below). Smoljan refers this to the realm of the fable and says: “I find it amazing how one can question the character or mentality of Leroy. You do him wrong for no reason. " 

Bayern Munich denied this to him himself : "But, as I have been assured, nobody does that at Bayern."

Meanwhile, the Reds are apparently dealing with a BVB star - has an offer already been made?

Bayern Munich: are Leroy Sané and Timo Werner coming to Munich?

Update from April 11, 2020:  What will the FC Bayern squad look like this summer?

Philippe Coutinho supposedly has no future in Munich *. And in the campaign for an RB Leipzig star, the Bavarians probably got competition from Real Madrid *.

Ex-Bayern professional Renato Sanches again felt neglected by the previous employer. Another FCB star recently chatted about Flick's special ability.

Update from April 10, 2020: Timo Werner or Leroy Sané ? In the meantime, it seems that the obligation of one is synonymous with the exclusion criterion of the other. 

At least this is unanimously claimed in circles of experts. And fraternal harmony is extremely rare anyway among experts. Even if one of the experts is even the brother of a manager. 

National player Sané will still lace up his soccer shoes for Bayern in 2020?

Michael Rummenigge's SportBuzzer column suggests that the decision in Munich could actually be made between the two national players . The expert and brother of FCB board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge explains: "Everything always depends on the price, but I cannot imagine that Bayern will get both national players." He also heard that "Joshua Zirkzee wants to promote even more in the future, ”writes the expert with mouse qualities.

Leroy Sané or Timo Werner: Who does Hansi Flick want?

However, he does not expect an early decision in Munich . After all, the record champion is in a comfortable situation - especially with regard to the Leroy Sané personnel . "After Bayern Sané would have bought for 100 to 120 million before the cruciate ligament rupture, an obligation could now be significantly cheaper and maybe only cost 30 to 50 million ." 

From his point of view, several components significantly lower the price for the international. First, the approaching end of the contract, because from 2021 Sané would be free of transfer. In addition, in the current situation, even Manchester City is dependent on external funds.

"If the European Cup blockage for City persists, this club will also need money at some point in times of Corona to pay its salaries, " he explains. City has been excluded from the European Cup for two years by the European football association UEFA for violating financial fair play. 

If one can believe the words of Rummenigge, FCB coach Hansi Flick prefers a commitment by Timo Werner from Leipzig anyway . Is there a consensus among experts?

Leroy Sané: FC Bayern star suddenly called him - "I was there right away"

Update from April 9, 2020: Despite the Corona crisis , FC Bayern is currently making nails with its heads. Thomas Müller's contract was extended until 2023, and Thiago's contract is to follow in the coming days. When it came to coaching, the decision was not surprisingly made by Hansi Flick .

But what about newcomers ? As is well known, Timo Werner and Leroy Sané have been trading there for weeks. The ManCity star has now made a public statement on dfb.de for the first time in a long time. He mainly spoke about his possible return to the square. 

Leroy Sané: City star speaks out publicly after cruciate ligament rupture

"After this long phase of injury, I didn't want to jump in again, I wanted to take the time my body needed," admits Sané, who has only played one game in the City Reserve since his cruciate ligament rupture in August 2019 . 

He made this suggestion himself, as the 24-year-old explains, in order to “get used to the pace step by step. Many were surprised, but for me it was a logical first step, which I had planned from the start and communicated to the trainer in this way, ”reveals Sané . 

Now it's time to stick together! #WeKickCorona

Thanks so much for all your support! Https: //t.co/6YibCZBJby pic.twitter.com/xTYvoWewny

The long injury break would have burdened him, but he also learned a lot during this time. "I hadn't known to be injured for so long," Sané admits : "Time wasn't easy, but I could learn a lot of things - for example, being patient. The body needs time after such an injury. There is no point in putting yourself under pressure. "

Leroy Sané - but not to Bayern?

Sané's goal was Euro 2020, which was postponed to the coming year due to the corona pandemic . The winger can understand this decision absolutely: “An EM without spectators? That would have been hard to imagine - this EM would hardly have been fun for anyone. ” 

The # WeKickCorona * foundation, founded by Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich, supported Sané from the start: “Leon called me one afternoon and briefly introduced me to the campaign. I thought the idea was great straight away and was immediately there, ”says Sané :“ It's nice to see that many other athletes have already joined this initiative. ”

Apparently FC Bayern is well positioned in the change poker around Kai Havertz. The Leverkusener should want to FC Bayern.

Sané to Bayern? Ex-coach: "He will do that"

Update of April 8, 2020:  The currently clubless Bundesliga coach André Breitenreiter made Leroy Sané a regular at Schake 04 in the 2015/16 season. He spoke to Sport1 about the rumors of his former protégé's switch to Bayern *.

In his opinion, one should draw a transfer Sanes in consideration when the club the possibility to a commitment has the national player. “It simply has outstanding qualities in terms of technology, speed and goal completion. He can make the difference, can decide games through a single action. There aren't that many of them, ”enthuses Breitenreiter. He also praised the international , "Leroy fits every team in the world". His injury, however, had thrown him back a bit in the summer, according to his ex-coach. 

FC Bayern: Sanés ex-coach about change intentions - "definitely not a step backwards"

But Breitenreiter is certain that the Reha Sané "will definitely be made more mature" and that it will "come back even stronger". But Breitenreiter knows what makes his former player tick and what is important when he changes . "Leroy will definitely make his decision dependent on which club he can successfully collect titles with * and not on which club he can develop."

Sané has already "proven that he is a top player." At Bayern * you are just looking for ready players who can help immediately at the highest level. "Bavaria would definitely not be a step backwards to ManCity, even if the framework conditions for the Citizens, which I myself examined, are unearthly ," said Breitenreiter. 

The FCB is also concerned about a Norwegian striker, the clippers now confirmed the interest. While the future of the Premier League season is still uncertain, a radical model is being discussed in Italy.

Bayern: Rummenigge dodges question about Leroy Sané - what's behind it?

Update of April 4, 2020: FC Bayern *’s interest in Leroy Sané seems to have cooled down considerably. Nobody wants to admit this openly on Säbener Straße. Management board boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge avoided the direct question about the wing car from Manchester City and Timo Werner in the picture interview: "You know, yes, I'm not talking about players who are under contract with other clubs."

Strange: In the past, the ex-professional may have talked about professionals who were associated with the Munich team. So his statement in the picture appears to be part of a tactic. Rumme nigge apparently has recently muzzled himself on the topic of Sané .

Meanwhile, David Alaba is shocked by a corona proposal from France.

Leroy Sané to FC Bayern? Expert Marcel Reif has a better suggestion

Update from April 3, 2020: The German record champions made a personnel decision that should have a major influence on a possible transfer of Leroy Sané : FC Bayern Munich has extended the contract with head coach Hansi Flick * over the long term until 2023.

Update of April 3, 2020:  The discussions about a possible transfer from Leroy Sané to Bayern are obviously picking up speed again.

Now cult football commentator and Bayern expert Marcel Reif has also spoken - and the Munich team have come to another player.

“I think this transfer is still in the poker phase. He'll be leaving Manchester City, I'm pretty sure. The Bavarians have to risk it if such a player is available, "said the Swiss national at Bild :" However, I would get Werner because he is more compatible with the game of Bayern. "

Timo Werner instead of Leroy Sané ? Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic recently justified a no to Werner with the fact that the Swabian would not fit into the Munich system. It remains exciting. Also in the personnel Jerome Boateng, which got new dynamism from the car accident of the world champion at Bayern *.

Bayern Munich: but no transfer from Leroy Sané?

Update from April 3, 2020:  Leroy Sané and FC Bayern - the almost certain wedding is still bursting. Was it just a hot summer flirt? As reported by tz.de * , one thing above all angered the Bayern bosses.

Update from April 2, 2020:  The transfer tug of war for Leroy Sané * goes into the next round. Will the international still land at Bayern Munich *? Or does he stay with Manchester City ? In times of the corona crisis *, forecasting is already extremely complicated. And as is well known, there have been new twists and turns in the Sané topic for months.

So also on this kicker Thursday. The trade magazine announced on April 2 that the " current trend clearly goes against " an obligation of the city star. Apparently, Sanés' desire for a change should also disappear , as the kicker would like to have experienced from the 24-year-old's environment. The failed attempts to bring the former Schalke to the Isar could be responsible for this. Neither in summer 2019 nor in winter 19/20 had it worked.

FC Bayern: Leroy Sané - transfer topic soon off the table

As the article goes on to say, Bavaria's doubts about Sané's mentality are also growing louder. In addition, those responsible for the record champion are said to have reacted to the change of consultant - which was accompanied by the sudden change in Sané's commitment to new negotiations . 

The transfer appeared to be a mere formality in the past - he bursts final? The kicker gives another indication that this scenario could occur: The financial risk for FC Bayern *. Sané * had to get back to his old level after tearing his cruciate ligament. And: If the talented dribbler should still work, the Reds would be severely curtailed in their transfer efforts with other players. 

Leroy Sané: change to Bayern before the end? Rumors of negative trend

Even if the transfer fee would suddenly be significantly below 100 million euros due to the Corona crisis , Bayern would have to transfer a princely salary for the star from the Premier League *.

It would be much easier for another striker: Timo Werner . It has an exit clause of around 60 million euros. According to kicker , Bayern still have him on the screen.

A much cheaper alternative would be Arjen Robben . The last trained with the record champions. Claudio Pizarro is also associated with FCB - but no longer as an active player. Jerome Boateng , on the other hand, faces trouble after a car accident.

Leroy Sané: Does Rummenigge scare the ManCity star with his transfer statements? 

Update from March 30, 2020: Actually, he should have been wearing the FC Bayern shirt since last summer . But in August 2019, he tore the cruciate ligament, which initially destroyed the transfer from Leroy Sané to Säbener Straße.

In winter, the 24-year-old still wanted to go from Manchester City to FC Bayern , but the Munich-based are said to have voiced concerns about his fitness and wanted to wait until Sané's knee heals. And now the corona crisis * could blow up the deal again.

The picture suspects that FCB boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge's transfer-stop statements (see below in the text) do not go down well with the moody Sané. Although the behavior of Bayern is understandable in these difficult times, one could to scare away Sané.

First report March 28, 2020: Munich / Manchester - Transfer sums and player salaries will fall after the Corona crisis * or in the course of it, depending on how long it lasts. Many experts and observers of international football agree on this. 

This also applies to FC Bayern *, the German record champion, the industry giant of the Bundesliga * .

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge believes falling transfers due to Corona crisis

But I can already predict one thing today: Both the transfer fees and the salaries will now be re-examined by all clubs across Europe, ”said boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently from Munich tz * :“ Supply and demand will regulate the market and adjust."

As a reminder:  Sané has not played a competitive game since August 2019 due to a cruciate ligament rupture - and has now been slowed down by the coronavirus pandemic * in his pursuit of comeback. 

FC Bayern woos Leroy Sané: new starting point due to corona crisis

Specifically, the always well-informed SportBild reporter Christian Falk wrote on Twitter that "a realistic basis for negotiations is 80 million euros". So, as a starting point, transfers are usually pressed even if a player has only one year of contract with a club - a constellation that applies to Sané and ManCity in summer. 

In the past months transfer fees between 100 and 120 million euros have been reported. But the starting point is a completely new one in courting for Sané - also, but not only because of Corona .
