The latest updates from Germany regarding Leroy Sane’s future are not promising from a Tottenham perspective, with the North London club’s chances of landing the winger on a free transfer suffering a huge blow.
Over the last week, it has been widely reported that Spurs are looking to land Sane on a free transfer after the winger’s contract negotiations with Bayern hit a stumbling block.
It was reported that Arsenal and Chelsea were ready to challenge Spurs for Sane’s signature as the player was in favour of a move to London.
However, according to various outlets, Tottenham are pushing the hardest to sign Sane, who is thought to be open to a switch to N17 after the Lilywhites secured qualification for the Champions League.
Leroy Sane talks with Bayern Munich could be bad news for Tottenham Hotspur
However, Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of landing the former Manchester City man have now received a huge blow amidst the latest updates on the winger’s contract negotiations with the Bavarian side.
Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has now claimed that the meeting between Sane’s agent, Pini Zahavi and Bayern director Max Eberl has been positive.
The Bundesliga giants have made adjustments to the initial contract offer they made to the German international, and have now made him an improved offer.

The Bayern hierarchy remain keen to hold on to the two-time Premier League winger, with a final decision on his future expected over the coming days.
Did Pini Zahavi use Spurs to get Sane a better deal?
Some sources over the last few days have suggested that Tottenham may have an advantage over other suitors in the race for Sane’s signature since Zahavi has a good relationship with Levy.
However, the sudden intensification of the transfer rumours over the last week suggested that it is Sane’s agent who leaked the speculation to the press.
Zahavi might have even offered the winger to Spurs and other London clubs in order to force Bayern to improve their contract offer, and it looks like he will achieve his goal.
