Barça are considering Leroy Sané as a 'low-cost' option for the winger. However, Newcastle have begun to 'push' for the German's signing
FC Barcelona have put Leroy Sané's name on their agenda of future prospects. The Blaugrana club plan to reinforce the winger in the 2025 transfer market, and although the big dream is Nico Williams, the Catalans are handling the German from Bayern Munich as a 'low cost' option to shore up the position when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The footballer's renewal with the Bavarians will depend on his role throughout the course of the season, since if he does not manage to make a place for himself in the starting eleven, everything points to him deciding to try a new challenge away from Germany. This situation would be taken advantage of by the team led by Hansi Flick, who already had him under his command at the Allianz Arena and who would be happy to incorporate him at zero cost.
Newcastle joins the 'race' for Sané
However, Barça will have to face tough competition if it decides to acquire the services of one of the 'sweethearts' of the free agency. According to the portal 'Football Insider', Newcastle want to sign a right winger no matter what in the next summer window and Sané fits into their economic and sporting demands.
In fact, the 'Magpies' are also reportedly looking into Raphinha, but the high cost of his transfer, which could exceed 75 million euros, makes his signing practically unaffordable for the English. For this reason, they would begin to 'push' in the operation of Leroy, whose experience in the Premier League after his time at Manchester City is valued, thus representing a serious 'threat' to the plans of the Catalan team.
