Leroy Sané, born 11 January 1996 in Germany, is a forceful forward recognised for his tenacity on the right wing. Standing at 6ft (1.83m) and weighing in at 12st 8lb (80kg), Sané cuts an imposing figure on the field. Currently, plying his trade with Bayern Munich, he wears the revered number 10 jersey whilst also representing his country at the European stage with the German national team.
Sané's current market value is gauged around €45.00m (£39m), as stated by Transfermarkt. His contract is understood to be steadfast with Bayern Munich until 30 June 2025.
In July 2011, Sané embarked on his professional career as a fledgling trainee at Schalke 04. His debut season 2013 - 2014 proffered only one first team appearance, but glimpses of his potential were tangible. He made notable strides in the 2014 - 2015 season, making 13 appearances and scoring three goals. His promise flourished further in the 2015 - 2016 season with 33 appearances and eight goals.
In August 2016, a shift in the winds saw Sané transfer from Schalke 04 to Manchester City for an approximate fee of £37m. During his tenure at Manchester, he showed an impressive tally of 5 goals in 26 appearances in the maiden season (2016 - 2017) leading to a tremendous 2017 - 2018 season with 10 goals in 32 appearances. His record endured in the 2018 - 2019 season, despite playing one less game, and registered another ten goals. His final season at Manchester City, 2019 - 2020, was largely sidelined due to a prolonged injury.
Sané's journey resumed in July 2020 as he made a return to Bundesliga with Bayern Munich for a fee of about £45m. His performance remained consistent, scoring 6 goals in 32 appearances in the 2020 - 2021 season to 11 goals in 30 appearances in the current 2024 - 2025 season.
Apart from his commendable club performance, Sané also participated in international tournaments. His credits include Champions League 2023 - 2024 for Bayern Munich, Euro 2024 for Germany, Nations League 2024 - 2025 for Germany, and Champions League 2024 - 2025 for Bayern Munich. Regardless of competition, Sané's goalscoring prowess and forward play have always made a decisive impact.
