Bayern Munich will try to make some new signings to make up for a number of injuries, even if Manchester City forward Leroy Sané won’t be one of them.

German club sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic on Thursday ruled out a move for the 23-years old saying his possible transfer was “not an issue” for now.

During an interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, Salihamdzic said that coach Hans Flick needed two players – a right back and a winger – to compensate for injuries.

Defenders Niklas Süle, Lucas Hernández and Javi Martínez are all out, while wingers Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry are also injured.

“Hansi Flick assessed the current situation and came to the conclusion that we need to strengthen (the squad). You have to accept that. I do, too. Hansi now feels the expectations as head coach,” Salihamidzic said at the team’s training camp in Doha, Qatar.

“There’s no difference of opinion. I want to help the coach. We’re looking at the options, but it’s hard to improve the squad,” added Salihamidzic, who said Bayern wasn’t prepared to pay any price. “It has to be within the financial constraints. Bayern’s future doesn’t depend on a right back.”
