Bayern Munich's new No.10? Leroy Sane recommends star with 'great things ahead' as new Galatasaray winger leaves famous shirt number behind

FIFA Club World Cup

Bayern Munich

<p>Sane has officially played his final game for Bayern, making a 30-minute cameo in their Club World Cup win over Flamengo before the beginning of his contract at Galatasaray. The 29-year-old winger said his goodbyes in Miami after five seasons in Munich, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/leroy-sane-looking-good-time-harry-kane-galatasaray-bound-winger-bids-farewell-bayern-munich-club-world-cup-campaign/blt391e81cd438815df" target="_blank">leaving with warm words for team-mates</a> and a wish for his friend Jamal Musiala to inherit No.10 shirt he leaves vacant. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Sane departs after pulling a U-turn over a new deal at Bayern. He initially appeared set to sign a new deal, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/leroy-sane-reflects-five-intense-years-bayern-munich-farewell-message-galatasaray-signing-mobbed-fans-airport-landing-istanbul/blt60c5b26862638e03" target="_blank">but ended up joining Galatasaray after a sudden change in agents</a>. Still, he wants to see the right player step into the number he wore last season, suggesting that the club hand it to Germany superstar Musiala.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Asked who should take on his shirt number, Sane named the 22-year-old, who has been wearing No. 42, saying: "I hope he gets it. Then I'll be happy about it. The boy still has a lot ahead of him. I hope he takes the time to keep working on himself and shows what he can do."</p>

WHAT WAS SAID

<p>With Sane gone and the No.10 shirt open, all eyes will be on Musiala. The former Chelsea academy player has long been touted as Bayern's future, and Sane’s endorsement only strengthens that belief.</p>
