Kimmich about Sané's change of Türkiye: surprise at FC Bayern!

St Pauli, Deutschland - Today is June 15, 2025, and the football world looks banned on Bayern Munich. The surprising change from Leroy Sané to Galatasaray Istanbul causes great excitement. Joshua Kimmich, teammate and friend of Sané, surprisingly commented on this topic today. He admitted that he hadn't expected the wing player's step to Turkey. "I was surprised to go to Türkiye. I didn't expect that," said Kimmich.

Sané, who has celebrated numerous successes for Bayern Munich in the past five years, has announced today that he will switch to Galatasaray as Free Agent on July 1. After a contract extension at Bavaria has been negotiated in the past few weeks, there was no agreement. The club offered Sané a three -year extension at reduced conditions, which it rejected. Instead, he now signs a new three -year contract with Galatasaray, where he receives a guaranteed annual salary of 9 million euros and a net bonus of 3 million euros per season, such as [ESPN] (https://www.espn.com/football/story/_/45498445/leroysane-complete-galatasaray-transfer-bayern-exit reported.

The background of the change

Sané moved from Manchester City to Munich in 2020 and scored 61 goals in 220 competitive games and 55 templates. In addition to numerous titles, including four Bundesliga championships, he is now ready to initiate a new section in his career. According to the [Transfermarkt] (https://www.transfermarkt.com/new-super-lig-mvp-leroy-joins galatasaray-after-munich-breakdown/view/news/455241) Sané is considered the most valuable player of Galatasaray and the entire Süper Lig. Change to Turkey was probably also due to other offers, including those from the Saudi Pro League and Arsenal, but he found the best option at Galatasaray.

Bayern actively act in the transfer market. Kimmich indicated that the departures of Sané and Thomas Müller Bavaria could force themselves to look for new players. A new winger for the coming season is on the wish list. Before Bayern get into the management of the squad, the first game in the new FIFA Club World Cup is coming up. This evening, the team meets Auckland City, while Sané will complete his last mandatory task for Munich before moving.

a farewell with gratitude

In an emotional video, Sané already said goodbye to the Bayern fans, in which he expressed his gratitude for the years together. Sports director Max Eberl emphasized that it was quite normal when players accept new offers and that there are no resentments to Sané. While Bayern with Tom Bischof and Jonathan Tah only show two new transfers, they are now facing the challenge of redressing the team next season after the loss of important players.

It remains to be seen which directions Bayern Munich will take in in the future, while Sané is preparing for a new adventure in the Süper Lig from July 1st.
