Lothar Matthäus, the former captain of the German national team and Bayern Munich, has expressed his approval of Leroy Sané's recent transfer to Galatasaray, a prominent Turkish football club.
Matthäus commented that Sané, who is 29 years old, will have a significant opportunity to secure a place in the German national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, contingent on his performance with the Turkish club.
