Man United monitoring contract situations of Bayern Munich star winger who’s open to Premier League move -Report

Man United is keeping an eye on the terms of Leon Goretzka and Leroy Sane’s contracts at Bayern Munich as the Premier League team considers making a move for the two German players in 2025.

Goretzka’s current contract at the Allianz Arena expires in 2026, while Sane’s contract there ends at the end of the current campaign.

Due to this, both may depart Bayern Munich in the summer of 2020, with the German powerhouses earning a transfer fee for merely the midfield player.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany reports that Man United will bolster their defense-minded midfield group in January, and the reporter speculates that the Manchester team may even make a move for Goretzka at that time.

However, the 29-year-old would like to remain in Germany until at least the summer, despite not being an important player for Vincent Kompany so far this season.

As for Sane, the winger’s minutes at Bayern have also been reduced since the arrivals of both the Belgian coach and Michael Olise, who has made a very impressive start to life in Bavaria. Nevertheless, the German star is talking to the Bundesliga giants over a new contract beyond 2025 but that could change should his game time remain the same.

Thomas Tuchel’s arrival at Man United could be a factor in Leroy Sane and Leon Goretzka moving to Old Trafford
Heading into Man United’s match with Brentford this weekend, Erik ten Hag’s role as manager is still under threat and it is being reported that Thomas Tuchel is a candidate to replace the Dutch coach at Old Trafford should he get the sack.

The former Chelsea manager coached the German duo at Bayern Munich last season and brought the best out of Sane, who produced 10 goals and 13 assists across 42 games for the Bundesliga side.

Tuchel would certainly play a part in Man United acquiring the Bayern stars next summer but there is a lot of moving parts in this transfer story for it to be taken seriously at present
