Bayern Munich Rules Out Leroy Sane Transfer, Eyes Right Back, Winger

DOHA, Qatar (AP) – Bayern Munich hopes to make some new signings to make up for a number of injuries, even if Manchester City forward Leroy Sané won’t be one of them.

Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic on Thursday ruled out a move for the Germany international, saying his possible transfer was “not an issue” for now.

Bayern had been hoping to sign the 23-year-old Sane during the offseason but shelved its plans when he hurt his knee during City’s Community Shield win over Liverpool in August. Sané is still working on his return from anterior cruciate ligament damage.
