Manchester United have been handed the chance to sign Bayern Munich attacker Leroy Sane on a free transfer this summer, according to French journalist Santi Aouna.
Sane is set to become a free agent amid a "large gap" developing between the player and the Bundesliga champions over a new contract. The Bavarians have demanded an answer from the Germany international before the end of the week regarding his future at the Allianz Arena.
The 29-year-old has been with Bayern since the summer of 2020, when he returned to his homeland from Manchester City. He has become one of Europe's most highly-regarded attackers, managing 61 goals and 55 assists in 219 games during that period.

Manchester United could be a possible destination for Sane should he not extend his stay at Bayern. Aouna claims that the Red Devils are among several Premier League clubs the German winger has been proposed to alongside Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.
Sane, who earns a purported £325,000 per week, was a prominent member of Vincent Kompany's Bavarians side who lifted the Bundesliga title this season, playing on either wing, which will undoubtedly entice United should they make their move. Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann thinks he's "world-class" and such talent is needed by the struggling Premier League club.
Ruben Amorim's attack has been a problem amid goalscoring issues and a lack of consistency from wide men at Old Trafford. They are reportedly closing in on Wolverhampton Wanderers' Matheus Cunha for around £67m, but could swoop for the experienced German to give Amorim more options.
GIVEMESPORT sources indicate that United are ready to facilitate Alejandro Garnacho's departure. Napoli are still eyeing the Argentine attacker after missing out on him in January.
