Arguments have been raised that Arsenal are interested in recruiting Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane.
Christian Falck, who reported the news of the transfer, said on the 13th (Korea time) that Arsenal are interested in signing Sane, whose contract with Munich expires this summer, on a free contract.
After the 2019-2020 season, Sane chose to go to Munich instead of extending his contract with Manchester City. At that time, Munich paid Manchester City 49 million euros (about 77.4 billion won) in transfer fees.
Sane has been active since joining Munich, keeping his main position. Munich has been negotiating with Sane since last year. However, no news has been heard about the renewal of the contract yet. As in Manchester City, there are observations that Sane will choose to transfer instead of extending his contract. Munich also seems to have slowed down as Sane has only recently performed poorly. Arsenal seems to be digging into this gap.

However, it remains to be seen whether Sane's trip to Arsenal will materialize.
Sane is not the only player Arsenal are interested in. Spanish daily As reported that new general manager Andrea Berta Arsenal wants to recruit Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle) and Spanish Martin Subimendi (Sociedad). Newcastle have set a £100 million buyout for Guimarães. Subimendi was rumored to have contacted Arsenal once in January, but the transfer did not materialize.
It is uncertain whether Munich will let Sane go easily. He is expected to focus on avoiding the worst situation of giving him away for free after investing in a considerable amount of transfer fees. However, due to the nature of Munich, which has not had much difficulty in mobilizing funds, there is a possibility that Sane may start looking for an alternative if he finally refuses to renew his contract.
