Farke: Bayern have no interest in Sancho, don't want to create problems for themselves

According to German journalist Farke, speaking to CfBayern Insider, despite Bayern Munich's recent injury crisis and the need to strengthen the left wing, the club is currently not considering signing former Manchester United player Sancho. Farke stated that Sancho's high salary demands and desire for stable playing time could cause problems, and Bayern does not want to create trouble for themselves.

Sancho, 26, has been a free agent since his contract expired this summer and is currently evaluating several options. Earlier reports indicated that LaLiga team Getafe had made an offer to sign the English winger.

Due to Bayern's recent injury problems, there was speculation that the club might consider signing Sancho on a free transfer. However, Farke explicitly denied this possibility.

Farke stated: "This is not true. Bayern Munich has not discussed the possibility of signing Sancho. He has been without a club since this summer, and he is not a player Bayern is currently looking at."

"Signing such a player could lead to some trouble, as he would demand a high-paying contract and also expect stable playing time. This is a very tricky situation, and Bayern does not want to create trouble for themselves. Therefore, they do not need Sancho at the moment."

Sancho joined Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for a transfer fee of £73 million, but in the five years since, he has consistently failed to fully prove his ability.

During his time at Manchester United, Sancho was loaned to Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. Last season, he was on loan at Aston Villa, making 39 appearances for the team.

Although Sancho has extensive experience in the Bundesliga and could join a new team on a free transfer, his salary demands and expectations for playing time remain major obstacles in any potential deal.

Reports suggest that even if Sancho were willing to lower his salary demands, Bayern would be unlikely to consider signing him.

Currently, Bayern is more inclined to focus on young attackers, including Rio Ngumoha of Liverpool and Antonio Nusa. Additionally, Oskar Pietuszewski, who plays for Porto, is also on Bayern's scouting list.
