It’s official! Leroy Sane is finally a Bayern Munich player. While he will not be allowed to represent the Bavarians for the remainder of the season (including the Champions League), the conclusion of the saga will be a relief to fans and players alike. After arguing with Manchester City for almost a year, the bosses finally have their man.
After completing the second phase of his medical check-up yesterday at the Barmherzige Bruder Hospital in Munich, Sane arrived at the Sabener Strasse to meet with the bosses.
10:48 am: @ LeroySane19 drives again on Säbener Straße! Medical checkup completed. Now meet with the bosses of @FCBayern! #FCB
He had a meeting and simply left the grounds afterward. This did not cause an insignificant amount of frustration for fans, who were expecting an immediate announcement. The official announcement of the transfer finally came today, courtesy of the club’s Twitter account.
Doesn’t it look wonderful? Red is a good color for him, it suits him better than blue. It’s a shame that he’s been in Manchester for so long, but now he’s finally at the right club.
Speaking about the transfer, Sports Director Hasan Salihamidzic said: “We are delighted that Leroy is a Bayern player. Leroy makes the difference and will strengthen our team with its quality. With Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman and Leroy, we are now even better equipped to a very high standard in the broad positions that are important to our game. I would like to thank Manchester City for the trustworthy and constructive negotiations. I would also like to thank our chairman and chairman of the supervisory board, Herbert Hainer, who supported us with this transfer from the start in the difficult circumstances of the coronavirus. “
We will have more reactions as they come out!
To update
It seems that Bild was right for a change. Sane appears to have received # 10.
To update
We have a statement from Bayern about Sane’s kit number. He will wear # 10, but out of respect for Philippe Coutinho, he decided to take his signature photos without the number.
Adidas has already jumped on Sane’s car.
