Sane halts talks amid Madrid, Barca interest

Germany international Leroy Sane is being monitored closely by Real Madrid and Barcelona ahead of the January transfer window.

Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane has not closed the door on a move away from the Bundesliga champions, according to Sport.

The forward, whose contract expires in 2025, has been the subject of intense interest from LaLiga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid in recent months.

In early November, reports emerged that no concrete agreement had been made between Bayern and the 27-year-old to extend his contract. Now, while on international duty with Germany, Sane has said that he "hadn't thought about it yet; the club wants to have conversations, but for now I want to focus on this season."

The former Manchester City man perfectly fits Barcelona's winger profile, especially with Raphinha being linked with a move away from the Camp Nou. Meanwhile, Madrid are looking to bolster their depth in attack after Vinícius Júnior was injured playing for Brazil last Thursday.
