Leroy Sané’s future at Bayern Munich has taken a dramatic turn as the German winger’s surprise decision to switch agents mid-negotiations has reopened the door for Premier League clubs, with Liverpool emerging as a potential destination.

The 29-year-old’s contract saga, which appeared resolved just weeks ago, now threatens to destabilize Bayern’s summer plans while offering Arne Slot’s Reds an unexpected opportunity to strengthen their attack.

Sané abruptly terminated his relationship with longtime agent Christian Schmid last week, aligning instead with Pini Zahavi – the Israeli superagent notorious for securing lucrative deals for clients.

This tactical move came despite Bayern sporting director Max Eberl having verbally agreed to a three-year extension through 2028 that would slash Sané’s annual earnings from €20 million to €10 million fixed plus €5 million in bonuses.

While Arsenal had been most consistently linked to Sané this spring, BILD’s Christian Falk has labelled Liverpool as viable contenders should negotiations with Bayern collapse.

This interest traces back to January 2024 when Bild revealed the Reds considered Sané a potential Mohamed Salah successor.

Though Salah since renewed his contract until 2026, Liverpool’s recruitment team maintains contact with intermediaries, viewing Sané as a cost-effective option to diversify their attacking profile.

It has been a middling campaign for the German international, managing 11 goals and 5 assists in 28 Bundesliga appearances

Statistic

While Liverpool would always welcome a player of Sane’s caliber on a free transfer, it seems unlikely that his wage demands would fit into the wage structure at Anfield.

It would be fair to lable this story as unlikely to happen, it just does not seem the style of Richard Hughes and Co.
