In a stunning transfer coup, Leroy Sané is expected to become a Galatasaray player, with a contract agreed upon until June 2028.
The deal is reportedly almost fully agreed between all parties, and Sané’s representatives are currently in Istanbul to finalize all the necessary steps for the formal signature.
This major move comes after weeks of intense speculation surrounding Sané’s future, as his contract with Bayern Munich was set to expire at the end of June.
Reports indicate that the German international rejected Bayern’s latest extension offer, opening the door for other clubs.
Despite interest from Premier League giants like Arsenal and clubs in Saudi Arabia and Italy, Galatasaray has emerged victorious in the race for his signature.
Sané is reportedly set to sign a three-year deal worth up to €15 million (£12.72 million) net per year, a significant salary that underscores Galatasaray’s ambition.
This makes him one of the highest-paid players in the Turkish Super Lig and signals Galatasaray’s intent to compete at the highest level, especially with their participation in the Champions League next season.
The 29-year-old winger, who previously played for Manchester City, will bring immense quality, pace, and experience to the Turkish champions.
His arrival is seen as a direct replacement for Victor Osimhen, whose loan spell at Galatasaray is expiring and who is also being courted by various clubs.
The official announcement is expected very soon, once the final formalities are completed. This acquisition is a testament to Galatasaray’s aggressive transfer strategy this summer as they aim to make a significant impact both domestically and in Europe.
