Many were shocked when Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané opted to sign a lucrative deal with Galatasaray rather than extend his contract in Bavaria.

Germany winger Leroy Sané posted an emotional farewell message to Bayern Munich fans on Thursday as he nears a move to Galatasaray on a free transfer. The Turkish league champion confirmed on social media late Wednesday that Sané arrived in Istanbul for negotiations.

Arsenal, Fenerbahce and Al Hilal were all of interest but the Germany international is set for a move to Turkey.
