Many were shocked when Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané opted to sign a lucrative deal with Galatasaray rather than extend his contract in Bavaria.

Arsenal, Fenerbahce and Al Hilal were all of interest but the Germany international is set for a move to Turkey.

Leroy Sane says he received ‘many offers’ to leave Bayern Munich, but decided to join Galatasaray due to ‘the size of the club’ and ‘how much interest they showed’ this summer. The 29-year-old forward touched down in Istanbul to great fanfare in the early hours of Thursday morning ahead of a proposed free transfer to the Turkish Super Lig giants.
