As per a report from Sport BILD, Mikel Arteta is eager to reunite with Leroy Sane and hopes to bring the Bayern Munich winger to Arsenal on a free transfer this summer. With Sane’s contract expiring at the end of the season, a renewal with Bayern appears unlikely.

Despite showing noticeable improvement in recent weeks, Sane’s end product has been inconsistent. So far, Bayern Munich have not extended a new contract offer to the German international, and there are no indications that they will do so before the summer. However, Sane shares a positive relationship with Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl. If he wishes to continue at the Allianz Arena, he would need to accept a significant pay cut from his current €20 million per year salary.

Sane has drawn interest from the Premier League, with Arsenal reportedly considering a move for him. Given Arteta’s familiarity with the winger from their time together at Manchester City, the Gunners view him as a potential addition to strengthen their attacking depth. With Sane set to become a free agent, he could be an ideal signing for the North London club.

The 29-year-old winger was an unused substitute in Bayern Munich’s Champions League Round of 16 second-leg match against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday. Vincent Kompany’s side secured a 5-0 aggregate victory to advance to the quarter-finals, where they will face Inter Milan. Sane, however, is expected to feature in Bayern’s upcoming Bundesliga fixture against Union Berlin on Saturday.
