Aside from the arrival of two reinforcements for both full-back positions and the possible signing of a center forward, the signing of a left winger is one of the priorities for FC Barcelona ahead of the upcoming summer market. Although Rafael Leao or Nico Williams are the club's top favorites, the Catalans are considering some 'low-cost' options to cover their backs.
In this sense, the name of Leroy Sané has emerged as a new candidate in the 'casting' of wingers by the sports management, as his contract expires at the end of the season and he could join Hansi Flick's squad as a free agent. The player would prefer to stay at Bayern Munich, but has offered his services to the Catalans in case he does not reach an agreement to renew his contract with the Bavarians.
The forward has been in negotiations with the Munich management for months to try to finalize the extension of his contract, but the 'overbooking' of attackers in Vincent Kompany's team has relegated the German to a secondary role. His stay at the club is not ruled out, but he will have to significantly lower his salary to reach an agreement with the German entity.
The Premier League pushes for Sané
Despite this, his signing for Barça is not a sure thing by any means. Sané still has a reputation in the Premier League, where clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester United are looking to bring the player back to England, where he previously played for Manchester City from 2016 to 2020.
However, Hansi Flick could play an important role in the operation. The coach had him under his orders at Bayern and the German national team and knows him very well, although, for now, Can Barça has not made any move for his signing. Nevertheless, if negotiations with the Munich club break down, the Catalans would consider the option of pursuing his signing.
