Chelsea ready to tease former Manchester City star

The position of the target player is still unclear in Munich.

LONDON - Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing former Manchester City star who now plays for Bayern Munich, Leroy Sane.


The Blues strengthened their squad with the additions of Romelu Lukaku and Saul Niguez in the summer transfer window as Thomas Tuchel tries to build on last season's Champions League triumph.

The proceeds were partially funded by the sale of Tammy Abraham, Kurt Zouma, Fikayo Tomori, Davide Zappacosta and Olivier Giroud.

However, while the current Tuchel may be happy with his squad, a club like Chelsea are always on the lookout for potential additions.

One that the Blues have noticed is former Manchester City striker Sane, with The Express , on Tuesday (7/9), reporting that Tuchel is a fan of the Germany international.

Sane is yet to be at his best at Bayern following his £54.8m transfer from Manchester City in July 2020.

The 25-year-old winger contributed six goals and nine assists in 32 Bundesliga games last season and has one assist in three league games so far this term.

But all is not well behind the scenes. The Athletic recently reported that Sane was 'frustrated with himself' and 'struggling to understand his lack of influence' at Bayern.

The report states that former Bayern boss Hansi Flick is at odds with sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, partly because he favors signing Timo Werner over Sane.

Werner finally joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig last summer, while Salihamidzic landed his man, signing Sane from Man City.

Hence, Sane's current situation could open doors for Chelsea, although Arsenal and Tottenham have also been linked with interest in the winger.

Bayern had previously shown interest in Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi and the Blues blocked a loan move to rivals Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window as they were unable to find a replacement.
