Bayern Munich star talks future and Arsenal links

A member of Vincent Kompany’s talented Bayern Munich side has declared his intentions to stay in Germany this winter.

Rumours had circulated that Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United were both considering a move for the German international, especially given he has started just one Bundesliga game so far this term.

But after speaking to the media on international duty, the 28-year-old expressed his intentions to stay at the Allianz Arena, despite there being just one year left on his current Bayern contract.

Having joined from Manchester City back in 2020, the 28-year-old has made 186 appearances for the German giants and is fully committed to extending his stay with the Bavarians.

“I feel really good, the talks with Vinni [Kompany], Max Eberl and Christoph Freund are very good and trusting. That’s why my thoughts are currently only on Bayern, we will see everything else in the next few weeks and months.

“The topic [money] is not on my mind at all right now. And how much I earn is not my top priority. To be honest, I haven’t thought about it for a second.”

Speaking about his relationship with Kompany, Sane said: “We both actually know each other well. Under Vinni, we play a good offensive style of football. We have fun on the pitch under his leadership, that is important to me and of course plays a role in my decision.”

In FourFourTwo’s view, a move back to the Premier League always looked unlikely for Sane, especially given how successful he has been at Bayern Munich ever since his switch back in 2020.

Arsenal would have been the most feasible destination, but for now, we can safely presume Sane will stay in Germany.
