Deal agreed with Bayern Munich for Leroy Sane - €60m (including add-ons)

[kaz7]

he was massive.
the decisions for him to leave were obviously made well in advance of him coming back given that all the ducks for his announcement were in a row immediately after the season.
I wonder if it would have played out the same if the club and Pep suspected that Vinny would come back so strong?

We tried everything to keep him,his mind was made up,he still wants to play when he can as well as manage,this chance would not come around again

 

[kaz7]

And another..what is the population of Germany?

Bayern winger Alphonso Davies on competition if Leroy Sané joins: "The bosses see something in Leroy, they see something in me. That's why they bought me. That's why they might buy him. I want to develop here. If Leroy joins us, I can learn a lot from him.”

 

[jrb]

Next! Who?

We should have kept a rolling name list of people who are linked to Bayern that have come out publicly to try and tempt Leroy to leave City.

Bayern really a horrendous club from top to bottom.

Serge Gnabry has admitted he would 'love' for Man City star Leroy Sane to join him at Bayern Munich this summer.

 

[SWP's back]

Dax777 City have said that all Bayern have to do is put a bid in that is close to our asking price. However Bayern want to get Leroy Sane on the cheap by getting his mum to unsettle him, so that he will put in a transfer request, so that we will let him go. This is being done on the behest of Bayern Munchen. So we have decided to play hard ball with Bayern and say, his fee is what ever we quoted them, some reports say £90 million. If you now want him put up or shut up.

Bayern can't afford to pay the price that we are asking for Leroy Sane, as they will no doubt breach FFP if they bought him from us. The prices that fans pay for match tickets is nowhere near what we are paying in this country, not sure about the price of football shirts. Which ever way you look at it the revenue in German football is nowhere near what is earned n this country, thus Bayern can't afford Leroy unless they sell some of their plaayers or do a swap deal with us.

Bayern have a higher revenue than us. So the whole “we can’t afford him” line is bullshit.

 

[bluemonkey71]

Maybe a list of players that haven’t mentioned Sane...

They can defo afford him. They are just utter ****s who will use the British press to pressure Sane into going.

It's under handed and utter bullshit but the ****s who write the gutter press eat it up cos it undermines City. If this was City players talking about Coman (for example), say Laporte talking about Coman playing for City then the higher ups at Bayern would be publicly going fucking mental.

It's a disgrace and why they are the German scum.

The mother would move with her man. That's not much of an issue.

I agree, It must have been considered going into the relationship as It's an outcome likely to happen being with a footballer, no?

I doubt that they would not be able to pay him as much as city. He is reportedly on £60k currently and we are apparently offering £150k.
I doubt Bayern could top £100k per week
I’m guessing Leroy’s people are probably looking at image rights through Beckhams company to see if they can make up the difference.
I still think leaving city would be a considerable wage drop for him and i would be surprised if he did that.
In my view it would be better to keep him for the two years on 60k and let him walk unless we get 120 plus

"We tried everything to keep him,his mind was made up"
maybe, not saying that didn't happen, but I didn't see anything that suggested that,
but i think while he was injured for long spells he was approached about his future, i don't think he approached the club and said he wanted to leave. I just can't see that. I think after being told his playing time would be diminished or not in the plans at all he embarked on plan B.
In one post match interview with Pep after Vinny had a massive game Pep kind of downplayed it and eluded to Vinnie's age, knowing already he was leaving. For the whole rest of the way in you could see Pep's utter astonishment at the level of Vincent's play, suggesting to me that He had underestimated his post injury capabilities.

So much wrong with that post that if you had paid attention you would know,vinny approached anderleigh(sp) please learn how to quote
Anyway back to Sane

She isn't Manc, yet she was willing to move to England. So the likelihood that she'd dig her foot in at staying in Manchester is highly unlikely and probably more blue tinted hoping.

 

[Bpughh]

at this point couldn't be arsed either way. think he is a great player but if he wants to go, go. mahrez will step up and we will sign joao felix. hardly going to hurt us either way, as good as he may be. could also open the door up to a jadon return if joao prefers cf/cam

jadon joao sterling
foden bernardo

would be cool to see in a few years. even more barca-esque (and very english)

 

[BringBackSwales]

that's out of context, it was an analogy.

An analogy for what, talking complete and utter bollocks?

 

[Hercules]

Once again, City will not sign Joao. By the way, Joao is not a true winger. He's more of a griezman type of player and you are expecting a 19 year old to come and put up Sane numbers instantly. Good luck with that. Some of you guys amaze the crap out of me. Sane had one soso season and you want him gone to Bayern. Next year, we will be playing in 4 comps with liverpool playing in two. We will be pushed again and I want you to imagine playing with mahrez and Joao.

In the centurion season we had Bernardo sterling Sané for the wing spot. If sane goes, we might have mahreZ, sterling, Bernardo, I think we would cope fine. Joao wouldn’t be a sane replacement, But a valuable asset that could play multiple positions. If our recruitment and pep rate him, we probably will sign him if sane is sold. Doubt there is anyone who wants to see that but it is up to sane.

 

[BosnianBlue]

Fucking Gnabry at it now, lol

 

[mike1923]

We hold all the aces as far as I can see.

Tell him he isn’t being sold under any circumstances, so either sign a new contract and get a lot more money for a few years or stay on the old one for less.

Bayern can fuck off, they’re desperate and are trying their underhand tactics with one of the few clubs in the world who simply won’t bow down to them.

 

[rnblade]

If Sane can’t see what’s being presented to him by us then he’s clearly not that bothered, let him fcuk off to the German rags play in a mediocre league and stroll through his career picking up Germany caps now he’s playing in Germany.
Sign a new contract please and raise your game to the next level with the greatest coach around, or move on for a tidy fee, which we won’t be bullied into these days.
You’re not going to be playing this sort of football if you go to Bayern, if you do go, I hope we play you and destroy you!!!

Don't forget that he'll be able to get his mum to do his washing!

 

[Fordyboy46]

Hope we come out and put these fuckers at Bayern in their place pretty soon . Seems like everyone is tapping Leroy up, even the players now. City better not budge on this supposed 90m valuation.
