Zero goal contributions: Galatasaray planning Sane exit
After 15 competitive matches without a single goal contribution, Leroy Sane has fallen out of favor at the Turkish club. His hefty salary is making it difficult to find a buyer.
Galatasaray Istanbul are reportedly keen to get rid of Leroy Sane.
The 80-cap German international currently serves as little more than a substitute for the Turkish champions, largely because Sane is in a major slump in form. After 15 competitive appearances, the 30-year-old has yet to record a single goal contribution.
As reported by "Sky", a parting of ways could happen as early as the upcoming winter transfer window.
Galatasaray pushing for an early exit
Sane joined from FC Bayern on a free transfer in the summer of 2025. The winger's contract runs until 2028.
If the traditional Turkish club wants to recoup a transfer fee for Sane, they would need to sell him before his contract expires. The 30-year-old's market value currently stands at 15 million euros.

Annual salary acting as a major obstacle
Leroy Sane, on the other hand, may well be content to see out his contract at Galatasaray. After all, with a rumored net annual salary of over twelve million euros, the German is the club's second-highest earner behind star striker Victor Osimhen.
In the past, "Gala" have repeatedly struggled to offload unwanted attacking stars. Potential sales of players like Hakim Ziyech or Wilfried Zaha previously fell through due to their hefty wages.
