French Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille are interested in signing German forward of Senegalese descent Leroy Sane.
According to information gathered from close sources, the French club has contacted the representatives of the club over a possible signing in the summer transfer window.
Having booked a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League, Olympique Marseille wants to recruit Sane to bolster their squad.
Sane, who is now represented by renowned agent Pini Zahavi after parting ways with his former representative, Christian Schmid, has been linked with a possible move away from Bayern Munich.
Despite changing his agent and amid the interest from top European clubs, reports indicate that Sané is still willing to sign a new deal with Bayern Munich.
His new agent, Pini Zahavi, has submitted a revised proposal on his behalf, requesting a €12 million base salary with an additional €3 million in bonuses largely tied to appearances.
This counteroffer comes in response to Bayern’s earlier proposal, which has a base salary of €10 million plus bonuses totalling around €15.5 million.
Bayern Munich are unwilling to accept the counteroffer and want to stick to what they presented to the player and his former agent.
If Marseille can match the demands of the player, they could sign him this summer.
