Tottenham Hotspur have been ‘offered’ the chance to sign Leroy Sane with the winger poised to depart Bayern Munich this summer. Sane made his move to Bayern in 2020 from Manchester City and has contributed significantly to their four Bundesliga wins.

Despite being a consistent player under Vincent Kompany this season, it appears that the German is ready to bid farewell to his time at the Allianz Arena. Sane’s contract is due to run out this summer, with Bayern failing to secure a new agreement.

The 29-year-old has netted 13 goals in 45 matches in all competitions this season, aiding Bayern in securing the Bundesliga title once again. He previously scored 39 goals in 135 matches for City, assisting them in clinching two Premier League titles, three Carabao Cups and the FA Cup.

During his stint in Germany, Sane has become a target for Arsenal. However, it now seems that their fierce rivals Tottenham have managed to edge ahead in their pursuit.

Spurs claimed victory in the Europa League last week, defeating Manchester United in the final. This triumph ended a 17-year trophy drought and secured their spot in next season’s Champions League, reports the Mirror. This new reality looks set to give them a boost in the summer transfer window. As per Sky Sports, Spurs have been ‘offered the opportunity’ to sign Sane ahead of the new season.

Qualifying for the Champions League has made the London side a ‘more attractive proposition’. Bayern Munich’s board member for sport, Max Eberl, has expressed his surprise at Sane’s sudden change of agents amidst contract extension talks, revealing the club’s position and ongoing negotiations. The winger appeared to be on the course to sign a new deal, before suddenly switching agents from Christian Schmid of 11Wins to Pini Zahavi.

“We have good relationships with his agencies. It came as a bit of a surprise. We thought we were very far along. We’ll see how things develop. Our wish would be to extend Leroy’s contract, but we’ve also set ourselves a framework,” Eberl said earlier in May.

“We’ll see what happens Until the signature is finalized, nothing can be said. We have a clear idea and thought we were on the right track. Of course, we’re talking to the new agency.

“There’s no bad blood; the players are free to make their own decisions. We’re very clear. Leroy’s performances in recent weeks have been very good; he’s shown that he’s committed to Bayern Munich. We hope he does it, and if not, we’ll move on there as well.

“At the moment, the season is still being viewed as a bit too normal. We’ve been top of the table since the third matchday, we’ve been very stable, and we’ve always responded very well to setbacks. It’s a special, important championship. We’re hungry for more!”
