Leroy Sane, who joined Galatasaray on a free transfer last season, has opened up about his transfer process. The German star, who had months left on his contract with Bayern Munich, revealed that Galatasaray contacted him well in advance, which significantly influenced his decision.
Sane said, "With my contract ending, many clubs began contacting me six months before the season ended. I was focused on finishing the season, but Abdullah Avcı, the sports director, reached out to me six months in advance. That's when I made my decision because Galatasaray made me feel confident."
The 30-year-old winger played in 43 official matches for Galatasaray this season, scoring 7 goals and providing 9 assists. Sane particularly stood out in big games, demonstrating his impact on the team.
Galatasaray's Early Move
The yellow and red club's early approach played a crucial role in Sane's decision-making process. Despite receiving interest from various European clubs, Sane was swayed by Galatasaray's approach and made his choice well before the season concluded.

In his first season with Galatasaray, Sane proved to be a key player for the club. His performance, especially in crucial matches, was a significant factor in the team's success. With 7 goals and 9 assists, Sane solidified his position as an important attacking asset for the technical staff.
