[hihosilva]

We'll get what we paid for him.

More like 70 mil

Ok, I'll go with that. People mentioning £100m are way off the mark. I'd certainly take £70m.

When is his contract up?

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

More like 70 mil

Absolutely no way.

He's a player with a profile and ceiling just under Mbappe's and at a club with no financial need to sell.

If we said 70 mil there'd be 20 clubs would enter an auction.

You're in a market this year where Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, rags, PSG, Bayern, Barca, Real and many more all need to buy, and these ones will be shopping at the top of the market.

 

[Neville Kneville]

We will let Sane go for less than it costs to buy Lukaku or Pogba ?

 

[117 M34]

Palace want 80 for Zaha.
Sane is worth more than 70

We'll have to wait & see

But we won't sell to english clubs. Who does that leave? He's only worth what clubs will pay. His fee will be even less if he is set on one club say Bayern. If we insist on selling, due to him refusing to sign an extension, and he says he will only go to Bayern, then they would put in a pitiful offer which we would have to consider or lose him in 2 years time for nothing.

No way will we sell to a direct competitor. He has to go abroad if he does leave.

Let's lose him in 2 years time for nothing then.

I'd probably agree with you, but don't think the club would.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I'd probably agree with you, but don't think the club would.

Not sure.

If he left now we'd have to pay him 2 years' wages & pay to replace him, then pay someone else's wages, which might be more.

If we keep him, he might sign a new deal anyhow.

We won't ever sell to an english team,i wouldn't be surprised if he stayed and if he wants to go at the end of his contract then we let him

Don't think there is anyway we let him run his contract down , thats the Arsenal model.

 

[Mid Wales blue]

We'll get what we paid for him.

Unless he goes to Italy.

If the only choice is an english club i believe we would just run it down,risky but we don't sell to english clubs,milner ran his down,we are letting vinny,dave,dinho and sergio do it as we did with zabba so it has happened i've made my feelings very clear about losing him at all so i won't repeat it

Players with long service nearing the end of their careers, not players on their first contract approaching their peak years. Cant see English clubs being the only choice there will be clubs in Europe that want him.

He could run it down and still go to an English club.

What if he only wants bayern and they won't pay big money but a english side would?

Is Sane currently on £60,000 a week at City? How high will City be willing to go to keep him do you think?
