Premier League side Arsenal are also in the mix, keeping tabs on the situation. While not offering the kind of financial package their Turkish or Saudi counterparts might present, the Gunners are reportedly evaluating whether Sane could be a strategic addition to bolster their attacking depth ahead of a crucial campaign across multiple competitions.
Despite the mounting external interest, Bayern are not ready to part ways without a fight. The German champions have made a revised contract offer to Sane that includes performance-based incentives, hoping it will persuade the former Manchester City star to extend his stay in Bavaria.

The 2024–25 campaign marked Sane's most prolific Bundesliga season to date, netting 10 goals as Vincent Kompany led the team back to domestic glory. His current contract is set to expire on June 30, just after the beginning of the 2025 Club World Cup, adding urgency to the ongoing negotiations. Bayern are hoping to settle his future before the tournament kicks off, especially given his status as one of the squad's key contributors.
