Spurs qualification for the Champions League have given them an edge in negotiations this summer
Tottenham closed the season by lifting the Europa League trophy and securing a place in next season’s Champions League. It was an inconsistent league campaign, but the continental success papered over the cracks. Ange Postecoglou’s side, despite doubts in key stretches of the season, managed a strong finish.
The team showed a more compact block, with quick transitions and active full-backs. The fans have regained enthusiasm and the directors now feel strong enough to aim high in the market. That European momentum has given them an advantage in several negotiations and could make a difference this summer.
Tottenham want to sign Bundesliga winger for free in the summer transfer window
According to information published by FootMercato, Tottenham are increasingly optimistic about their chances of signing Leroy Sané as a free agent. The German seemed close to renewing his contract with Bayern, but he changed agent, now working with Pini Zahavi, and that altered the plans. His salary demands have grown and the Bavarian club have failed to come close to what he is asking for.
The German’s contract expires at the end of June and he could leave without a euro. Arsenal and Chelsea are keeping an eye on him, but Spurs believe they have the edge in the race. The German also has offers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, but has not made up his mind.
Tottenham must look at this option with coolness, not just enthusiasm. Sané has undisputed quality and Premier League experience, but he does not come cheap. Even if he arrives without a transfer fee, his wage bill will be high. Is it worth paying more than 12 million a year for him? Only if he is guaranteed a clear role in the system.

In Ange’s 4-3-3, Sané can operate on the left, with the freedom to cut into the centre. His one-on-one and his striking would fit in well. But if Postecoglou is replaced, the club need a technical direction that also believes in open wingers and quick attacks.
It’s not just about signing names, it’s about collective sense. The maximum value they should assume for him in wages and bonuses should not exceed 40 million gross for three years. Signing him can also mean slowing down the progression of Kulusevski or Johnson, and that requires management. Sané can make a difference, yes, but his addition requires balance. Spurs need talent, but also tactical and financial consistency.
