Okay, this one drifts into the Serge Gnabry realm of fantasy, but it does make some sense.

While he’s been productive in the Bundesliga, Sane hasn’t quite caught fire as many suspected after he made the switch from Manchester City in 2020. Although, he was coming off a torn ACL so initial expectations were tempered somewhat.

The German international impressed in patches last season, but Gnabry’s contract extension and Sadio Mane’s arrival means the Bavarian giants can afford to part ways with Sane. It was reported that they would entertain offers in the region of £60m and Arsenal are believed to have shown an interest.

Whether the German international would be willing to sacrifice indefinite domestic success at the Allianz Arena for a Europa League outfit remains to be seen, but the player’s healthy relationship with Mikel Arteta could aid Arsenal if they were to match Bayern’s hefty but not outlandish valuation.
