Leroy Sane and Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich
Manchester United and Chelsea are both reported to be in the race for the transfer of Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané as he approaches becoming a free agent.
The Germany international is in the final months of his contract with Bayern and it remains to be seen whether he will commit to staying at the Allianz Arena.
Unsurprisingly, Sane will have plenty of other options, and the player’s representatives are reportedly starting to sound them out.
SURPRISE loan move for Marcus Rashford?
This is according to sportwho name Man Utd and Chelsea among the 28-year-old’s admirers, even if the player himself has hinted that his preference would be to stay at Bayern.
Leroy Sane transfer: Is it a trophy-guaranteed signing?
Sane has had a great career at the highest level, having consistently won silverware throughout his time at both Manchester City and Bayern.
In total, Sane has 16 trophies to his name, and that experience will surely make him a tempting option for Europe’s top clubs.
United and Chelsea are undoubtedly two teams who will want to win more, with neither team really at the level many have expected of them in recent years.
The signing of someone like Sane could be useful to help kick-start those projects, with some experience possibly needed in this youthful Chelsea set-up.
Enzo Maresca will be happy with how his young and promising side are performing at the moment, but there is also surely room for someone like Sane to at least add depth and guidance off the pitch.
Meanwhile, United lack any spark in attack at the moment, so they could do well to bring in someone like Sane as an upgrade for the struggling Antony.
Sport’s report also mentions the likes of Barcelona and Tottenham as looking at Sane should he end up leaving Bayern.
