Arsenal considering ‘big-money’ Bayern Munich raid, with upcoming talks to determine deal’s fate

However, according to GiveMeSport, a move for Bayern and Germany ace Sane was explored before Sterling signed.

A move did not come to pass owing to the small amount of time Bayern would have had to secure an adequate replacement.

However, the report stated Sane remains a player of interest to the Gunners and a ‘big-money’ move in one of two guises in 2025 is now possible.

Arsenal are described as ‘keen to continue seeing how his situation develops over the course of the season ahead of potentially offering a fresh challenge.’

Crucial to determining whether a move is viable are upcoming talks between Sane and Bayern Munich.

The 28-year-old has entered the final year of his contract which reportedly nets him roughly £325,000-a-week.

Bayern do want Sane to extend his stay in Bavaria, though on a reduced salary. Factoring into Bayern’s thinking in that regard is the fact they recently signed Michael Olise who can also play on the right flank.

As such, whether Sane is willing to slash his wages will be a determining factor for his future. If he refuses, a return to the Premier League where he previously won two titles with Manchester City is deemed the likeliest outcome.
