World-class star wants to play under Hansi Flick at Barcelona

Barcelona is seeking strategic reinforcements for the upcoming season, and one intriguing option being explored by the sporting management is the potential addition of Leroy Sané. His contract with Bayern Munich ends at the conclusion of the season, making him an appealing target for Barcelona.

The German winger’s contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season, making him an appealing option for Barcelona, especially given their financial constraints and desire to acquire players at no cost. According to the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” Sané, 28, is at a pivotal point in his career.

Initially, he aimed to renew his contract with Bayern, but the signing of Michael Olise has complicated matters, causing Sané to lose his starting spot. This decline in playing time has led to his exclusion from the German national team, heightening his eagerness for a change if he cannot reclaim his position.

A crucial aspect of this potential transfer is Sané’s connection with Hansi Flick, Barcelona’s current coach and former Bayern manager. Under Flick, Sané was a key contributor to Bayern’s success, and he would likely welcome the chance to work with him again, which could benefit Barcelona in negotiations.

However, Sané’s high salary poses a significant obstacle. While he would be a free transfer, Barcelona’s salary cap issues mean they would need him to agree to a pay cut for a deal to be feasible. Nevertheless, Barcelona is committed to strengthening their right-wing attack, and Sané is viewed as a player who could make a significant impact and align with the club’s objectives.

Barcelona’s sporting directors are closely tracking the situation, and if the transfer materializes, Sané could become a valuable asset to the team next season.
