The deal is done. In yet another whirlwind move, Galatasaray acquired the services of Leroy Sane, from Bayern Munich, on a free transfer on Thursday, officially announcing him to the masses.
Sane, capped 70 times for Germany, has bagged 61 goals and registered 55 assists in 220 appearances for Bayern in all competitions, and walked away from the Alliannz after denying a contract extension.

“An agreement has been reached with the football player Leroy Aziz Sané for a period of three seasons, starting from July 1, 2025,” Galatasaray wrote on their official release on X.
“According to the agreement, the player will be paid a net guaranteed salary of €9.000.000 per season, along with a net loyalty bonus of €3.000.000 per season.”
Sane, on the other hand, joined Bayern in 2020, signing a five-year deal from English side Manchester City, where he won the Premier League title in 2018 and 2019.
With the Bavarians, the German winger went on to win the Bundesliga four times, including the most recent campaign, as well as two DFL-Supercups, one UEFA Super Cup, and a Club World Cup.
Sane’s move comes as part of a concerted effort by the Turkish champions to entice star striker Victor Osimhen to consider staying at Galatasaray.
Osimhen was key to Galatasaray winning the domestic Double, scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions. It was a campaign that showed he’s definitely not lost his scoring touch, but his game goes well beyond goals.
Osimhen, who is on loan from Napoli, has his release fee reduced to £65 million from £100 million after his move to Galatasaray.
Given his success during the 2024/25 season, it is no surprise that the Turkish champions want him back permanently, but that could now be a difficult deal to commit to financially, even with claims being made that they are hopeful it will actually help their chances of him joining.
