Overview

• Since a free transfer in July, Sané has one goal in nine outings for Galatasaray and did not play in the 1-0 Champions League win over Liverpool, following only a brief league cameo.
• Sportbild reports he was left out of Julian Nagelsmann’s squad for World Cup qualifiers against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland.
• Former Galatasaray player Alparslan Erdem told a BILD podcast that Sané looks short of full fitness and warned that conditioning issues can quickly derail a career.
• A Sportbild Pro/Contra package faults his agent change and Bayern exit as damaging to his 2026 World Cup prospects, while a counterpoint urges patience with adaptation, coach Okan Buruk’s support, and a team leading the Süper Lig.
• HNA reports an Oktoberfest scuffle that Sané acknowledged and regretted, adding an off‑field distraction to a difficult start.
