Newcastle have had a brilliant start to their new campaign. In particular, the Magpies club's recent comeback win against Wolves has acted much of a morale booster for the club, giving the fans the hope of a brilliant season ahead. However, even though the game had several positives in store for the club, the Wolves fixture once again reflected a trailing issue for the club.

In the second half, when Eddie Howe moved Gordon forward to make way for an incoming Harvey Barnes on the left, the club went on to win the game but highlighted the weakness of their right wing. Since the start of the season, neither Jacob Murphy nor Miguel Almiron has looked in touch for Howe's side; meanwhile, there is competition between Gordon and Barnes for the left wing.

How serious are Bayern's star winger rumors of a Newcastle move?

Not to forget, signing a top prospect for the club's right wing was in Newcastle's priority plans for the summer; however, due to some reasons, the club missed on that. Since then, there have been speculations of potential problems arising on the right wing, and now it feels that this fear has become the club's reality.

To address the same, recent reports from Caught Offside have suggested that the Magpies club has shown interest in a former PL winner for the esteemed role. As per reports, Newcastle United might consider approaching Bayern's star wing forward Leroy Sane as he nears his Bayern contract in 2025.

With Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, himself being a Leroy Sane fan, the club is considering moves to offer £25 million to test out Bayern's opinion on a deal. Even though there have been talks going on for a contract renewal from Bayern's entourage, chances could arise to make Sane part with the club due to high wage demands.

However, analyzing the whole deal from a clearer perspective, things don't stand much more feasible for Newcastle to inboard Leroy Sane. The biggest reason why the club opted out of Crystal Palace's £70 million demand for Marc Guehi was because of their stressed-out financial conditions, which may hinder Sane's potential move to the club.

Being the truth said, Leroy Sane, being one of the best wingers in the Bundesliga and having won major accolades in his career, won't be an easy one for Newcastle's wage bill. In fact, considering the winger's demand for a salary hike, chances look negligible of him opting to make a move by considering a pay cut.

Overall, even though Newcastle United has been linked with Leroy Sane, a move for the German star winger looks much unfeasible for the club. Thus, as the scenario seems, Howe would have to continue with his existing players for this season at least, possibly trying out a different attacking setup.
