Ex-Coach Neururer: Sane's Time with Germany is Finished
4 Sep
Summary
- Peter Neururer believes Leroy Sané's Germany career has ended.
- He doubts Sané's club form warrants a call-up from new coach Klopp.
- Neururer is optimistic about Leon Goretzka's potential return.
Former Bundesliga coach Peter Neururer believes Leroy Sané's career with the Germany national team has concluded. Speaking on September 4, 2026, Neururer stated that new Germany head coach Jürgen Klopp will likely select his first squad on September 17 based on performance.
Neururer expressed admiration for Sané's talent but questioned when he last displayed it consistently. He doubts Sané's current level at Galatasaray is sufficient for Klopp to consider him, sadly concluding his national team opportunities have passed. Sané, 30, has earned 80 caps and scored 18 goals since his 2015 debut.
In contrast to his prognosis for Sané, Neururer sees a potential future for Leon Goretzka in the national team. Goretzka, 31, had limited game time at the recent World Cup and faced criticism. Neururer is optimistic that Goretzka's move to Aston Villa will allow him to regain form and secure a return to the squad if he remains healthy.
