There is still time for Leroy Sané to change the perception of his tenure with Bayern Munich, but many fans would see it as unfulfilling after the substantial amount of hype that predated his arrival.
Now, there could be an end in sight for his time in Bavaria. Per kicker journalist Georg Holzner, the chances are “slim” for a contract extension between Bayern Munich and the Germany international:
According to @kicker information, the current trend for Leroy #Sané is: His contract will not be renewed. He would need an extreme improvement in performance, according to #fcbayern , in order to increase his – currently slim – chances of getting a new contract.
Sané did score a goal against Mainz 05 during a 2-1 loss on Saturday, but has had middling performances this season overall. At a time where it seems to be clear that at least some players need to move on within the attacking group, Sané could become a prime candidate for the club to let walk away after this season.
