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

[Father Paul]

I posted 50 odd pages ago saying it should be10 million added to his value every time they mouth off.

So we shouldn't be accepting below 200 mil after the bollocks from this past week.

I kind of agree but it is just not practical to run down his contract. The fact is we don't know what is going on in the background.
What we do know for sure is that Sane is not happy with his game time, he may not be happy with his manager as a result and he may have a much
better offer on the table then we are prepared to give him. Likewise we don't know how badly we want to hold on to him in the hope he would sign a new contract.
It does not really matter what us fans think as the final decision will not involve us.

Or we sell him next season when there could be more suitors ?
Or Bayern are desparate and pay what he's worth now ?

But next season the price would be less as then he only has 1 year left on his contract, and like I stated if Bayern are the only club he will sign for there is nothing we can do.

Sane"s silence speaks volumesi feel he will be sold he has no intention of signing a contract so its a waiting game to see what the club settles at

However his silence goes both ways. Bayern only need all that media talk because they are not sure Leroy will come.

I'm starting to get that feeling that this has all the hallmarks of a Bayern Transfer - player tapped up all terms agreed and finalised. Bayern just manipulating the situation to get the player on the cheap. I suspect he's already gone - and we are going to struggle to get a decent fee unless we are prepared to hang Leroy out to dry - which we won't.

You think you are a smart guy don’t you?

I see you.

More smart casual tbh ;-)

 

[Neville Kneville]

That’s not how it works NK and well you know it.

Only if Pep insists on it.

City will not cave in unless told to.

 

[balotellishaircut]

I have already explained to you what I meant. You have decided you don’t agree with it. Quite honestly I couldn’t give 2 fucks and most certainly don’t need you to give me a ‘chance’ to explain myself, who do you think you are? Are you a fucking copper?

You don’t like my explanation. Fair enough. Move past it and get on with you’re life.

Ok forget it, but it wasn't "tongue in cheek" never mind I did nothing wrong pointing out your differing posts.

 

[Neville Kneville]

This is what worries me.

That's why we would be stupid, to do it.

If Sané leaves for nothing in two years, it's been an ok contract.

Unfortunately it does appear that way.

I will be gutted if he goes, feel he could of propelled his career under Pep. We are entering a new era at the club with all the stellar legends like Kompany, Zab, Silva, Yaya and soon Sergio leaving. Sane could of put himself in that category in 10 years time if he decided to stay. I think he wants to go and if that's the case we cash in now rather than have a bad apple in the camp, just to piss Bayern off. It will be hard to replace his goals and assists but I have faith in that our scouting team will fill the void with another player, hopefully equally as good as Sane.

To those involved,cut the nonsense.

ta.

Empty vessels make the most noise.

 

[Neville Kneville]

So you simly put Leroy and Pep on ignore then?

Leroy needs to be on the top of his game, for two years. Or go to the highest bidder.

If we cave in, we are shit.

'Slavery' my arse.

The transfer to Bayern will be announced in the next 72 hours i guess.
Apparently City will be reinvesting the money in Oyarzabal who left a really nice impression in the sub21 wc.
Even top clubs cant hold young players who have have higher ambitions regarding play time + standing.
I think City gave Bayern their OK to work out a Deal right after the previous season ended.
One more reason why Citys leaderboard has been quiet all the time .
It is a hard but very wise desicion..

If you think a deal was done how much? Has to be well over £100m. What would you say is a good price from your perspective.

PS I don' think he is going anywhere.

I take you simply want him to stay, like I do.

Asking for 200m, or even 150m, would simply mean = no deal (as you wish).

Of course BM are financially limited and their famous bank account with about €230m didn't grow in contrast to transfer fees,
that have rocketed over the last years.
Crossing the symbolic €100m mark (= £90m) for Leroy would be very painful for BM.
I really don't think they would be willing and able to go much further.

KHR added today that squad places 17, 18, 19, 20 from now on would have to be young prospects on low wages from their own academy.
That's a huge difference to our squad!

Anyway, if Leroy wants out we would have to find a compromise according to our policy.
I hope he only wanted to gamble on higher wages, but actually between City and Leroy no one wants to blink first
and after more than a year it's not easy for one side to give in and agree to the other.

I still have no idea what Leroy wants also in regards to his daughter/girlfriend which might be a main factor.
We don't know but I think til Friday he has to show his cards in one way or the other.

I hope he stays, but only if he's 100% on board, at least.
I prefer those Bernardos, KDBs, Rodris, Laportes, Jesuses, Zins, Fodens and Walkers talking about City
and want to hear that from Leroy too before celebrating.

If we keep him for the next two years on his reported £60k a week, it’s good value for money and shows the club won’t be messed around with.

That's the spirit!

That would cost us a little over £6.5m in wages and a free transfer at the end of it.

Opposed to getting £100m for him I'm not sure how that's better value.

The value is in the extremely talented player we get to keep for another two seasons.
