Bang at FC Bayern: Sané changes to controversial consultant!

In the soccer circus, a surprising change of consultation causes a stir: Leroy Sané, who has been playing at Bayern Munich since 2020, separated from his previous advisor Christian Schmid shortly before an expected contract extension. The German international is now under the care of Pini Zahavi, an agent who is known for his demanding negotiations. This is seen by Bavaria as a setback, since the talks about a new contract were already well advanced by 2028. According to op-online.de , a basic salary of up to five million euros was orally agreed.

Max Eberl, the sports director of FC Bayern, indicated that only the signature was missing. But with the move to Zahavi, who is known for his role in failed contract negotiations, for example with David Alaba, all negotiated conditions are now being negotiated. It remains to be seen whether the originally favorable conditions for the association will remain, especially since Bavaria is not pleased about the current situation.

The scope of the change of consultant

The change from Sané to Zahavi not only raises questions about his salary ideas, but could also result in a change of club. Observers see a possible future of the offensive player at the Premier League club Arsenal London. This speculation is fueled by the fact that Zahavi also represents Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, in which Bavaria is interested after the announced farewell to Eric dier, as also from t-online.de

Overall, this incident underlines the complex nature of player transfers in professional football, which contain numerous labor law steps. Many legal aspects must be carefully observed from contract negotiations between players, new club and current club to the submission of the necessary documents at the DFL.

With Zahavi at his side, Sané could now follow a “everything or nothing” tactics, which will also increase the pressure on Christoph Freund and Max Eberl. The outcome of these negotiations is eagerly observed because the time is shortened rapidly until the end of the transfer window.

In the football world, it remains to be seen how this dramatic change of consultation will have a effect on Sané's career and the planning of FC Bayern.
