Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane is set to complete a free transfer to Turkish club Galatasaray.
The 29-year-old arrived in Istanbul on Thursday ahead of signing a contract with the Super Lig champions.
The Turkish club posted photos on their social media of Sane wearing a Galatasaray scarf on his arrival at Ataturk Airport, saying they have “started transfer talks” with the German.
Over one million supporters tuned in to a live broadcast on Galatasaray’s YouTube channel on Tuesday of a flight-tracker showing Sane’s plane arriving in the city.
The Bundesliga champions were keen on keeping the winger but Sane rejected the offer of a contract extension.
Bayern had included Sane in their 29-man squad for the Club World Cup, which begins on 15 June.
However, he is set to complete a deal with Galatasaray in the coming days, with the Athletic reporting he has verbally agreed a three-year deal with the Turkish club.
Sane, who won six major trophies in four years with City, claimed three consecutive Bundesliga titles during his first three seasons at Bayern before a fourth last term.
