Leroy Sané reaches verbal agreement with Galatasaray
Galatasaray have moved ahead of Arsenal and Al-Hilal in the race to sign Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané (29). According to Florian Plettenberg, a full verbal agreement between club and player has been reached.
This comes just hours after it emerged that Sané had rejected Bayern Munich's latest contract proposal which wasn't an improved salary, just a different payment structure. The Rekordmeister initially offered €10m plus €5m in bonuses before amending the contract to a fixed €12m salary and a further €3.5m attainable via bonuses, which didn't meet the player's demands.

As such, Galatasaray are now closing in on Sané, who isn't expected to play for Bayern Munich at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup which kicks off on Sunday.
Sané scored 11 goals and provided six assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances last season, his best goalscoring tally in the Bundesliga so far. A move to Galatasaray brings an end to the German's five-year spell at Bayern, where he scored 61 goals and provided 55 assists in 220 games across all competitions.

German 17-year-old Engel becomes youngest grass-court quarterfinalist since Becker in 1985
STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — German 17-year-old Justin Engel became the youngest player since Boris Becker 40 years ago to reach the quarterfinals of an ATP Tour grass-court tournament by making the last eight at the Stuttgart Open on Thursday. Engel beat seventh-seeded Alex Michelsen of the United States 6-4, 6-4 to become the youngest quarterfinalist ever in Stuttgart. He is the youngest man to reach the quarters of any grass-court event since Becker won Wimbledon as a 17-year-old in 1985. Engel, who turns 18 in October, will next face Félix Auger-Aliassime of Canada on Friday. It has been a remarkable 12 months for Engel, who only broke into the top 800 in the rankings last July, having entered the 2024 season as No. 1,344. He is now guaranteed to move into the top 250. Engel this week also became the second youngest player since 1990, behind Rafael Nadal, to have won a match on all three surfaces — grass, clay and hard-court — on the tour. ___ More AP tennis:
