Max Eberl has to make tough decisions at FC Bayern.
The sports director is linking Leroy Sané's contract extension to clear conditions.
Munich – The new sports director of FC Bayern Munich, Max Eberl, is not only supposed to coordinate the upcoming transfer summer, but also make internal future decisions in the interests of the club.
In
Sport Bild
, the 50-year-old reveals what is important to the sports director, especially when it comes to new signings and contract extensions.
The future of Leroy Sané is coming to the fore.
A Sané departure from FC Bayern is also possible
Leroy Sané's contract with FC Bayern Munich runs until the summer of 2025. An early extension of the cooperation is necessary because Bayern do not want to "lose a player for free," said Eberl.
Inevitably there are talks with the winger, who the former Bundesliga professional attests to “outstanding qualities”.
Eberl explains how a decision will be made regarding the contract extension with Sané: “We have to decide with him: What does he want, what are his future plans?
Does he have the desire, the desire, to go into the future with us, to tackle something new?
In general, it's always about a commitment to the club." If the national player does not meet these minimum requirements regardless of his performance on the pitch, it is also possible to say goodbye in the summer, similar to Alphonso Davies.

Leroy Sané earns a lot of money at FC Bayern
The financial framework also plays a major role in whether Leroy Sané stays at FC Bayern.
The 28-year-old will sign his last major contract and is unlikely to want to forego his salary, which according to a
Kicker
report should be around 20 million euros per year.
In addition to the talks about contract extensions, Eberl also has to deal with possible transfers and the coaching commitment - there is hardly any time to breathe, not even for Leroy Sané.
A final decision on the offensive player's future will definitely be made in the next few months, regardless of the outcome.
