Per in Germany, Bayern are in talks with Sane over a new deal and expected the winger to agree to a reduced salary compared to his current deal, with a reduction of around €6 million (£5m/$7m).

Sane is said to have decided that he is not willing to take a salary reduction without a significant signing-on fee, and has been left dissatisfied with the overall package. His contract expires this summer and he is also aware of the fact that team-mates have received major signing-on fees. Sky reports that Alphonso Davies earned around €20m (£17m/$23m) as his signing-on fee when he committed his future to the club.

Sane is willing to leave Bayern if he does not receive the salary offer he has demanded. Both Arsenal and Chelsea have been linked with a swoop to sign the star, and he is said to be willing to move back to England, having previously played for Manchester City.

Bayern have won the Bundesliga and play Borussia Monchengladbach in their next fixture. It remains to be seen if Sane will sign a new deal.
