Leroy Sane, who wears the Galatasaray jersey, made striking statements to the German press, Bild. Sane announced that he would return to the German National Team after transferring to Galatasaray.
"IT FEELS A BIT STRANGE"
In response to the question, "The failure of negotiations for a new contract with Bayern Munich, your transfer to Galatasaray, your playing style, or the national team. Everyone in Germany has an opinion about you. Why are you such a controversial figure?" Sane said, "I think these are a mixture of many factors. I am an attacking player with a specific style. I have not always been able to show my potential consistently. Additionally, I have a character that many people do not know well but interpret as arrogance. This is more about self-confidence. In sports, everyone can have their own opinion, and that is what makes sports exciting. I can deal with this, but what matters to me is the opinion of my close ones. Sometimes it feels a bit strange to see what kind of opinions there are about me."
"THINGS ARE GOING WELL NOW"
In response to the question, "You have been playing for Galatasaray since the summer and have already gone through a rollercoaster period. You were not in the starting eleven in the Champions League against Liverpool and the derby against Beşiktaş. Then you scored two goals in the Başakşehir match and won the game. Now you are in the starting eleven. How do you evaluate the period since you left Bayern Munich?" the star player said, "I have been playing football for a long time. Therefore, I know well about the emotional ups and downs. I would have liked to play in both matches. But we still have a few derby matches ahead. The head coach Okan Buruk has treated me very warmly, and we have communicated closely. He motivated me to keep believing in myself. After having good training during the national team break, I felt positive: everything is on track now, I have adapted. Things are going much better now."
"I WILL RETURN"
Speaking about the question, "You were excluded from the German National Team. Are you expecting to be included in the squad in November, and is it harder to get into the squad as a Süper Lig player?" Sane said, "I will return to the national team. As for the Turkish League; Portugal's successful national team includes players who play in Saudi Arabia. What matters is individual performance, how good a player really is. Then these performances can also be valid for the national team."
"I HAVE OTHER GOALS"
In response to the question, "Have you received any offers from Saudi Arabia?" the German player said, "Yes, there is interest. But right now I have other goals. The 2026 World Cup is very, very important. It will probably be the last World Cup I can participate in. After all, I will be 34 in 2030. It is the biggest event in football. I want to be there. This is my biggest personal goal. If I can be there, it will be a dream come true for me."
