Arsenal’s long-standing interest in former Manchester City star Leroy Sané has come to a definitive end, with the German winger now on the verge of signing with Turkish side Galatasaray.

According to trusted transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Sané is expected to pen a contract that will keep him at Galatasaray until June 2028. “Leroy Sane will become a Galatasaray player on contract until June 2028, as revealed this morning! A deal has almost been agreed between parties, with a formal signature to follow,” Romano posted on X, adding that Sané’s camp is already in Istanbul to finalize the details. He ended the update with his signature phrase: “Here we go, soon.”
Sané, whose contract at Bayern Munich expires this summer, had been widely linked with a potential move to the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta previously worked with the winger during their shared time at Manchester City, and fans speculated that their past connection might spark a reunion.
However, with Galatasaray moving quickly and decisively, that possibility is now off the table.

While Arsenal hadn’t built their entire summer transfer strategy around Sané, his free-agent status made him a tempting market opportunity. Arteta has previously acquired several ex-City stars, including Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, but Sané will not be joining that list.
The Gunners are now expected to shift their focus to alternative attacking targets as they prepare for a crucial 2025/26 campaign. Following a disappointing season where they crashed out of both the Champions League and FA Cup semifinals, and finished a distant second in the Premier League, reinforcements are a necessity—not a luxury.
