I like Man united and Arsenal but i prefer to join.. – Leroy Sane responds to surprise Arsenal and Manchester United transfer links

Leroy Sane has expressed his desire to extend his contract with Bayern Munich to Manchester United and Arsenal.

The Germany international may become a free agent next summer since his current contract with Bayern is set to expire at the end of the current campaign.

Sane’s contract status has been monitored by both Arsenal and United, and rumors in Germany indicate that the former Manchester City winger would have to take a pay cut to stay at Bayern.

However, Sane claims he is content under Vincent Kompany and that money won’t be the deciding factor in his decision to extend his contract at Bayern.

‘I have confidence in myself, in the situation and also in my club. We are in a transparent and relaxed exchange,’ Sane told Sport Bild.

‘I feel really good, the talks with Vinni [Kompany], Max Eberl and Christoph Freund are very good and trusting. That’s why my thoughts are currently only on Bayern, we will see everything else in the next few weeks and months.

‘The topic [money] is not on my mind at all right now. And how much I earn is not my top priority. To be honest, I haven’t thought about it for a second.’

Speaking about his relationship with Kompany, Sane said: ‘We both actually know each other well. Under Vinni, we play a good offensive style of football. We have fun on the pitch under his leadership, that is important to me and of course plays a role in my decision

Despite not having already reached a new agreement with Bayern, Sane insists he will see out the season with the Bundesliga leaders.

‘I will definitely not sign for another club on January 1 or 2. I don’t need a quick decision,’ Sane said.

Asked about a possible return to the Premier League, Sane said: ‘I have a sympathy for the league, I still watch certain games on TV.

‘The attraction for me lies in the club where I can show my best performance, develop and win titles. I have that at Bayern. This is where I have my greatest challenge and goals.’
