WHAT HAPPENED?
According to he Turkish giants are ready to offer the German international a net annual wage of €15 million (£13m/$17m), a figure that reflects both their financial clout and Mourinho’s intent to lure top-tier talent. Arch-rivals Galatasaray are also tracking the 29-year-old, reportedly offering between €10m (£8.5m/$11.5m) and €12m (£10m/$13.5m) annually in net wages. The Istanbul derby may soon play out in the transfer market, with both Turkish heavyweights jostling to secure the services of the talented winger.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Meanwhile, clubs from Saudi Arabia continue to watch developments closely and are believed to be contemplating a sizeable financial package that could challenge even the most lucrative European bids. Although none have made formal offers yet, their presence in the background adds another layer of intrigue to Sane’s decision-making process.

DID YOU KNOW?
Premier League side Arsenal are also in the mix, keeping tabs on the situation. While not offering the kind of financial package their Turkish or Saudi counterparts might present, the Gunners are reportedly evaluating whether Sane could be a strategic addition to bolster their attacking depth ahead of a crucial campaign across multiple competitions.
Despite the mounting external interest, Bayern are not ready to part ways without a fight. The German champions have made a revised contract offer to Sane that includes performance-based incentives, hoping it will persuade the former Manchester City star to extend his stay in Bavaria.

WHAT NEXT FOR SANE?
The 2024–25 campaign marked Sane's most prolific Bundesliga season to date, netting 10 goals as Vincent Kompany led the team back to domestic glory. His current contract is set to expire on June 30, just after the beginning of the 2025 Club World Cup, adding urgency to the ongoing negotiations. Bayern are hoping to settle his future before the tournament kicks off, especially given his status as one of the squad's key contributors.
