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

[Bluemoonie92]

He is just waiting until he scores on Sunday to reveal a shirt ballotelli-esque telling bayern to piss off.

This is coming to a boiling point now, lots of talk and lots of media briefing. I still can’t see it happening this window at least.

You better get a neck-brace then - there are going to be a lot of windows to look through I hope

Keep up, I posted that hours ago

Sorry bud only just now touched base. A lot of catching up to do.

 

[Ban-jani]

He's not great at bombing forward and drawing out opponents which gives our creative midfielders space to weave their magic.

He’ll make a terrific linesman, Walker

People have been saying this for 300 pages now and still no one has managed to come up with a reason why we'd sell for cheaper after our window is closed.

There's no logic behind it at all. If we're not able to spend the money coming in to replace him then the price goes up, not down.

Because we would be left with an unhappy player and would want to let him go rather than keep him around,it's not rocket science,assuming he wants to go

 

[The Black Shed]

He's a game changer. Minimum £100 million

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Can you all type slower please. I'm trying my best to keep up.

 

[chesterbells]

Haha, now Brennan's got it. Obviously a brief.

Music to my ears. Or eyes. Well, sort of.

 

[chaddblue]

If this £137m valuation is true and we won't budge on it.... he won't be going anywhere this summer

But most of the time in those situations, come mid September & the penny drops & the player realises he ain’t going nowhere in the short term, he knuckles down and gets stuck in. Come on, its not rocket science Karen ;-))

 

[Dr Jacoby]

£200m for Bayern
£120m for any other potential suitors

 

[SamBlue]

This thread is like recent flash floods, so many pages to catch up with since leaving the office and having a quick pint. As the price is going up, I am thinking if we could ask for 90mil + Joshua, and knowing what Pep and him think of each other, all parties would be happy. :)

battle of Jerryco !!

 

[Manchester1894]

Media lapping this up as a distraction from the weekend's match. Ramping up all over the place now. Sane can kill this with one signature.

 

[come-on-barney]

Who knows what is going on but trust the club absolutely know what they are doing.

City hold a good hand though if we don't want to sell. Leroy's value will have been amortised down over the last three years so he will be worth 2/5's of what we paid for him on our books. If he wants to go, we can hold out for what he is worth. Bayern's need is now. If Leroy stays he isn't going to want to sulk - that would be tantamount to self harm. So, either we sell for £150m ballpark or he stays and contributes.

Alternative opinion:
It is in our interest to keen bayern interested for as long as possible to prevent them from properly strengthening and being a genuine contender in champs league.
Sane isnt bothered, the club isnt bothered, we’re just keeping them tagging along

And now good folk breeeath

Maybe beyond the dickish comments (not by you btw) on here about him not being as good as thought, not commited/bad attitude, and not missed when he didn't play, it could just be a simple case of a young lad, recently a father just wants to go home to his home and Bayern simply the only ones that can afford him in Germany.

It could be. I think fans take it for granted that football players will just happily play wherever in the world someone wants them but it’s not that simple. When I was 18 I went to work in London and whilst it was a good experience, I missed being up North with my mates and took a pay cut to come home after a couple of years. I was pulling sickies to come home on Fridays and go back later on Mondays and certainly wasn’t putting in a full shift towards the end as I was unhappy. He may be too. Who knows.
