Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane will reportedly make a "fundamental decision" on his future next summer amid rumours of a possible move to Liverpool.

The 27-year-old is into his fourth season with the Bavarian giants and has made a total of 144 appearances across all competitions, scoring 45 goals and providing 37 assists.

Sane won his third successive Bundesliga title last season, chipping in with 14 goals and 10 assists in 44 matches in all tournaments, while he has also lifted two German Super Cups, one UEFA Super Cup and one Club World Cup during his time at Bayern.

The Germany international previously spent four successful years at Manchester City between 2016 and 2020, winning eight trophies, and the winger has been linked with a potential return to the Premier League.

Indeed, Liverpool have allegedly identified Sane as one of their leading targets to replace Mohamed Salah, who has been the subject of much speculation over a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.

The Reds are believed to be willing to break their club transfer record of £80m spent on Darwin Nunez two summers ago to lure Sane to Anfield.

However, Sane is seemingly in no rush to make a swift judgment on his Bayern future as German news outlet Bild claims that the winger intends to make a "fundamental decision" over a possible exit in the summer of 2024.

Despite recent reports claiming that Bayern are ready to open contract talks with Sane, Bild states that no club officials have sought discussions with the winger at this stage.

However, it is thought that Bayern are keen to keep hold of Sane, who has just under two years remaining on his current contract at the Allianz Arena.

Liverpool are not the only club said to be interested in signing Sane, as La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are believed to be keeping a close eye on the German's situation at Bayern.

Man City, meanwhile, can benefit from the potential sale of Sane as they are said to have inserted a 10% sell-on clause in the deal that saw the winger join Bayern.

Sane has become a key player for Bayern since the appointment of head coach Thomas Tuchel towards the backend of last season, and he has made a bright start to the new campaign, scoring six goals in seven Bundesliga games.

Liverpool are also understood to be closely monitoring a number of other wingers ahead of the New Year including PSV Eindhoven's Johan Bakayoko and Wolverhampton Wanderers' Pedro Neto.
