  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Just when it looked like the 29-year-old would end speculation over his future and sign a new Bayern contract, CF Bayern Insider reports that Sane has switched from the 11Wins agency to agent Pini Zahavi. The report adds that the newly-crowned Bundesliga champions now have to start negotiations again 'from scratch'.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Sane has been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool, who may be tempted to sign the speedy winger if he becomes a free agent this summer. The German international was seemingly prepared to take a pay cut to stay at Bayern but this agent shift may have put that to bed.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  According to Bild, the former Manchester City man's decision has come as a 'complete surprise' to Bayern. Incidentally, Sane has scored 11 goals and bagged five assists in 28 Bundesliga appearances this season.
