Transfer shocker? Bayern Munich Place Leroy Sané on sell list, Nico Williams is preferred replacement
Leroy Sané was initially set to extend with Bayern Munich, but the club might have pulled a 180 on him and put him up for sale. Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams is the preferred replacement for the 28-year-old German:
Leroy Sané is now a candidate for sale. Sané’s contract expires next year – and an extension now seems a long way off. The people in charge are aware that if they want to get a fee, they have to sell him this summer, otherwise he could leave the club for free next year. Sané’s current market value is still €70m, so a departure is no longer out of the question. Also because new signing Michael Olise is the same type of player.
Not all Bayern officials were happy about Sané’s participation in the Euros and had even advised him against it given his physical condition.
Whether Sané and Bayern will actually go their separate ways also depends on the market situation. If Sané is sold, Bayern could make a push for Nico Williams.

This means Bayern’s senior wingers, namely Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman, and Sané are all open to sale. Who gets them is another story.
