According to a report out of Italy, <em>Los Blancos</em> have an affinity for the Germany international and want to bring him to Spain:La Liga champions Real Madrid reportedly want to sign 26-year-old German international Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich next year.According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Leroy Sane is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions want to sign the 26-year-old German international from Bayern Munich next year.However, with Eden Hazard likely to leave, Real Madrid might need to sign a wide attacker. Several players have thus emerged on the Spanish club’s radar, with Sane also being a viable target.But Bayern Munich will likely fight tooth and nail to keep hold of the 26-year-old German international. Sane is starting to stamp his authority at the Allianz Arena. So it will be surprising if he leaves <em>Die Roten</em> next year. Meanwhile, the former <a href="https://bitterandblue.sbnation.com">Manchester City</a> man is not the only Bayern Munich player on Real Madrid’s radar.It is extremely unlikely that Bayern Munich will part ways with Sané given his importance to the squad. That said, Sané has two-and-a-half years left on his deal and could be getting the itch to start exploring his options. Maybe he has the same “itch” that drew Robert Lewandowski to Spain.<a href="https://twitter.com/gerard_laws/status/1598163264562946048">Cheat sheet?
