Overview
- Sané has gone 13 competitive matches without a goal or assist, leaving him in a pronounced form slump this season.
- After being brought on in the 61st minute against Konyaspor, Sané watched teammates celebrate from a distance and later told a TV worker “Verpiss dich mit der Kamera,” an outburst widely reported in Turkish and German outlets.
- Fatih Demireli, Galatasaray’s development director, publicly defended Sané on Monday, praising his daily professionalism and saying he still believes Sané will be important for the club.
- Turkish media have reported that coach Okan Buruk’s patience may be running out and that a winter departure for Sané is being discussed, though the club has not announced any decision.
- Sané joined from Bayern in summer 2025 with high expectations and now faces mounting pressure alongside other underperforming signings such as Ilkay Gündogan, with upcoming Champions League fixtures cited as possible chances for a turnaround.
