Bayern Munich attacker Leroy Sane informs Barcelona that he is not interested in joining the club this summer, according to a report.

Bayern Munich attacker Leroy Sane has reportedly told Barcelona that he is not interested in joining the club during this summer's transfer window.

There is currently a host of speculation surrounding the 28-year-old's future, with his contract at Allianz Arena due to expire in the summer of 2025.

Manchester City are believed to be interested in bringing him back to the club, while fellow Premier League clubs Manchester United and Liverpool are also thought to be closely monitoring the situation.

According to Sport, Barcelona made it clear that they were keen on Sane, viewing him as one of the leading candidates to boost their attack during the upcoming market.

The report claims that Sane's contract situation put Barcelona on red alert, with the Catalan outfit seeking to sign a winger capable of contributing goals and assists.

The German, who has been in impressive form for Thomas Tuchel's side during the 2023-24 campaign, could now allegedly decide to sign a new contract at Allianz Arena.

Sane has scored nine goals and registered 12 assists in 29 appearances for Bayern this season, including eight goals and 11 assists in 20 appearances in Germany's top flight.

The forward made the move to Bayern from Man City in the summer of 2020, and he has represented the Munich side on 162 occasions, scoring 47 goals and registering 49 assists in the process.

Addressing his future towards the end of last year, Sane told reporters: "I haven't given it any thought. The club wants to have discussions but at the moment I want to concentrate on the season. Bayern will be my first point of contact, everything else will take care of itself."

Sane started his professional career with Schalke 04, representing their first team on 57 occasions between 2014 and 2016 before moving to Man City, where he managed 39 goals and 46 assists in 135 appearances.

The forward has won three Bundesliga titles and two German Cups during his time in Munich, and he will be bidding to help his side secure two more trophies this term.

Bayern are currently second in the Bundesliga table, two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, while they will take on Lazio in the last-16 stage of the Champions League.

Barcelona are believed to be willing to sell Raphinha this summer to make space for a new forward, but the club's president Joan Laporta has insisted that a permanent deal for on-loan Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix is still being pursued.
