Leroy Sané Scores in World Cup Qualifier as National Team Future Looks Bright
Leroy Sané’s Recent Performance
Leroy Sané’s performance has been under scrutiny due to his goal and assist tally this season. On November 17, 2025, he scored Germany’s fourth goal during the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier match against Slovakia, further solidifying his position in the national team.
Sané has recorded six goals and eight assists in 34 games this season, with all six goals and four assists coming in 21 Turkish Süper Lig games. His recent outings for the national team against Luxembourg and Slovakia were particularly impressive, as he scored and assisted twice in each match.
National Team Prospects
Julian Nagelsmann, the national team coach, hinted at the possibility of calling up Sané for future matches, stating, “We don’t have many players with his profile who often cut inside from the right wing.” He added, “If his health holds up, he can be a very important player for us.” However, Nagelsmann acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding Sané’s contributions, remarking, “Let’s be honest — we never know 100% what he’ll ultimately bring to the pitch.”
Club Situation
Currently, Sané is playing for Galatasaray, having signed from Bayern Munich on a three-year deal in the summer of 2025. He was recently on the bench for Galatasaray’s match against Liverpool in the Champions League Round of 16.
Galatasaray has made significant moves in the transfer market, including securing Victor Osimhen for a reported 75 million euros, who has already proven to be a key player for the team.
As the season progresses, observers will be keen to see how Sané’s form develops and whether he can maintain his momentum leading into the next international fixtures.
