Leroy Sane left Bayern Munich as a free agent after contract talks broke down, joining Galatasaray on a three-year deal — a major departure after five trophy-laden years in Munich.

Career

Bayern offered Sane a three-year extension on reduced terms, which he rejected; he left as a free agent when his contract expired at the end of June.

Sane joined Galatasaray on 1 July on a three-year deal reportedly worth a guaranteed 9m-euro annual salary plus a 3m-euro loyalty bonus.

He won four Bundesliga titles across five seasons at Bayern before the move.

Where they are now

Sane begins the new season in Turkey with Galatasaray, a significant change after five title-winning years at Bayern Munich, while remaining a current Germany international with 80 caps and 18 goals.
