Tottenham Hotspur have learnt that Leroy Sane is expected to demand a bumper contract to sign for the Lilywhites, and a new report has now shed light on why Spurs are not entirely deterred by the German’s demands.
The pacy winger’s contract at the Allianz Arena runs out next month and unsurprisingly, several top clubs are thought to be keen on securing his services on a free transfer.
Tottenham are at the front of the queue to land the 29-year-old, with various reports indicating that Spurs have shown the most concrete interest in Sane so far.
It has been alleged that Sane would be willing to join Tottenham this summer, but according to the latest updates, Bayern have not given up on tying down the former Man City man to a new contract.
However, most recently, Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg revealed that a meeting between Sane’s agent, Pini Zahavi and Bayern director Max Eberl went well this week. Bayern have adjusted their first contract offer and have now suggested improved terms.
Tottenham will have to hand Leroy Sane a bumper contract
Football Insider have now said that the German international will demand a mega-money offer from interested clubs this summer if he is not able to agree on a new deal with Bayern.
The report points out that the winger is earning more than £300,000 per week, including performance-based add-ons, at the Allianz Arena. Should he demand a similar figure at Tottenham Hotspur, that would mean that the Lilywhites would have to make him their highest-paid player to sign him.

Interestingly, the outlet says that while Spurs will struggle to match that figure, they could still find the deal attractive, given that there is no transfer fee involved.
The publication adds that the pacy wide man is keen on a return to the Premier League and specifically on a move to London.
Tottenham face competition from Premier League rivals for Sane
Football Insider say that the most lucrative financial packages for the German winger will arrive from England this summer, with Spurs expected to face plenty of competition.
The report backs up what we have heard from other sources over recent days by revealing that Chelsea are also on the Bayern man’s trail.
It is asserted that the Blues see the former Premier League winner as a potential replacement for Jadon Sancho, who has not set the world alight during his loan spell at Stamford Bridge.
