Although the European football scene in the 24-25 season has come to an end, in order to prepare for the next season, it is also to clean up the team's lineup and space. Therefore, even though it is already the offseason, the teams are still fighting outside the arena just to create a perfect lineup. Not long ago, Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich officially issued an announcement that Leroy Sane will transfer, the destination will be in the Turkish League, and the team will be Galatasaray. The two sides will sign a three-year contract, with an annual salary of 15 million euros after tax. After this news was exposed, many fans were surprised. After all, Sane was only 29 years old, and his highest value in the past was as high as 100 million euros. This season, he also contributed 13 goals and 5 assists at Bayern. Logically speaking, even if he is the target of Bayern's purge, he can fully gain a foothold in the five major leagues. This time he joins Galatasaray, it also disappoints some fans. In fact, the evaluations about Sane have been mixed in recent years. Let’s take a look at why Sane has fallen from the altar in recent years.

1. The rising star changed his destiny due to serious injuries.

Time went back to the summer of 2016. The wealthy Manchester City team took a fancy to Sane, who made his mark in Schalke 04. Coach Guardiola believed that Sane was very suitable for his system, so he also actively communicated with Schalke and finally brought him to the Premier League stage with a transfer fee of 52 million euros. You know, Sane was only 20 years old at that time, and being able to introduce him with such a huge transfer fee was enough to prove his worth. In his first season at Manchester City, Sane showed outstanding talent, playing in a total of 37 games, scoring 9 goals and 6 assists, and successfully won the PFA Player of the Year Award. Immediately afterwards, he completely secured the starting position in the 17-18 season, scoring luxurious data of 10 goals and 15 assists. Among them, he ranked second only to his teammate Kevin De Bruyne in the Premier League assist list, and also helped the team win the Premier League and League Cup championships respectively. Therefore, he also won the PFA Premier League Best Player Award that season. Considering that he is only 22 years old, it can be said that Sane's future is unlimited.

How popular was Sane at that time? Because in the 2018 World Cup roster for the Russian World Cup, then German coach Löw did not choose Sane, he was directly criticized by media inside and outside Germany, questioning that he had wrong employing people. In addition, Sane helped Manchester City win the domestic triple-champion honors in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup in the 18-19 season, and personally scored 16 goals and 17 assists. Therefore, Sane's net worth directly reached 100 million euros, and many giants hope to grab Sane from Manchester City. However, Shangtian played a big joke with Sane. In the 19-20 season, Sane only played one game and only played 11 minutes before being seriously injured. The result is also very unsettling, because he suffered a torn knee cruciate ligament injury, which means that even if Sane can return to the arena, he is likely to be unable to recover to 100%.

2. It was purchased by Bayern at a high price, but its performance was disappointing.

Fortunately, Sane was still young. Even though he suffered a serious injury at that time and missed the entire 19-20 season, he was only 24 years old when he returned to the arena. Moreover, due to his injuries, his net worth is no longer as close to 100 million euros as before, but has shrunk by nearly half. You should know that since the wave of gold-dollar football hit, there are many players with a net worth of 50 million euros. Therefore, there are still many wealthy families who hope to get Sane. In the end, Bayern became the winner, and a transfer fee of 49 million euros was successfully brought Sane to Munich. In the first two seasons of Bayern, Sane's overall performance was quite qualified, contributing a total of 24 goals and 23 assists. In terms of data, there was not much jump compared to Manchester City's period. However, during this period of Sane's time at Bayern, some problems gradually exposed. The injury caused his speed advantage to no longer, and his playing style did not make much progress, resulting in his signature left-wing in-shot shot being gradually studied by the opponent. This is why, although Sane's data is pretty good, the overall effect is difficult to satisfy.

In addition, several coaches coached by Bayern, Frick, Nagelsmann, and now Kompany, have a unique "understanding" about the use of Sane, but as the saying goes, wishes are beautiful, reality is skinny. For example, Frick arranged him to the right many times, believing that Sane could overcome the impact of the reverse foot, but the result was that his flaws were infinitely amplified. Under Nagelsmann, due to tactical play, the team's offensive space was extremely compressed, which directly led to Sane having nowhere to use his strength and could only obey the system requirements and execute tactics at once. Moreover, since that serious injury, Sane has been injured continuously and has been unable to maintain his condition for a long time. After all, during this period, he represented the German team in the first World Cup and the second European Cup, but did not leave too many impressive moments, which can illustrate Sane's problem. Therefore, although he failed to win the Champions League trophy with Bayern, he has already won all honors including the Bundesliga and the German Cup, and overall it is relatively satisfactory. Moreover, over the years, he has played 214 games for Bayern, scoring 60 goals and 49 assists, which is worthy of Bayern's efforts. Now, he has transferred to Turkish Super League, which is also a way to seize the last chance of his career and earn as much as possible.. Moreover, although Galatasaray has some gaps with the top teams in the five major leagues, he is also a giant in the Turkish Super League and has been a regular visitor to the Champions League all year round. Therefore, this time, we cannot completely think that Sane is not enterprising, but it just makes fans feel that Sane can actually reach a higher level.
