The manner of the departure is still all press speculation at this point; Aguero and Silva were linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid every single summer for about 5/6 years. Pep has been nailed on to go to Juventus the last two summers as well. Did they encourage those clubs? No, they denied the links but even when they spoke out the speculation never went away, so why bother if it's ignored.

Let's wait to find out the facts before we lay the blame at anyone's door, although Bayern's persistent public speaking pursuit is bullshit.

Thats just not true though is it. Aguero has never persistantly been tracked by another club openly through the media and neither has Silva. Both have always been 100% in their committment to City and that has been refelcted in the lack of any club openly courting them. As for Pep he was linked to Juve last summer for maybe a month or so, but nothing ever concrete and Pep quickly shut that down.

No, we assume you’re not a City fan, because of your diction and your tone, an impression not dissipated by the faux incredulous ‘wow’ gambit much favoured by imposters protesting their innocence. There are plenty of people on this thread that hold broadly the same view as you (and I’m arguing with them as well), but they are clearly City fans and I respect their right to their opinions even though I may disagree vehemently with them. Something about you though screams wrong ‘un. Your references to City read as how a fan of another club might awkwardly refer to us, and your 9 posts are another red flag. I’d peg you as a Bayern fan, but your English is otherwise immaculate, so I don’t know who you support, I’m just mightily suspicious of your claim that it’s City

You assume right but I never actually said I was a MCFC fan. Anyway I come in peace.

FIFA Reg Jan 2020 Pg 24 #3 To paraphrase it says Club must inform the player’s current club in writing before entering negotiations

So when did the bullies inform Sane’s current club in writing? Since they have already apologised for speaking about him in public

Yes, if Bayern failed to inform Manchester City about their intentions to speak to Sane, then they'd have broken the rules and would deserve to be sanctioned, but is there a proof that they didn't? In a law of court, when you accuse someone of breaking rules, you're the one that needs to show evidence to back up the claims.

Don't you find it implausible, given that Bayern went fully public with it, that they'd fail to send a simple one-liner email? It's not like they needed perrmission in order to satisfy the rules, just a simple "Please be informed that we intend to contact Leroy Sane regarding a potential transfer to Bayern Munich" would have sufficed. Given the possible ramifications of not sending such a simple one-liner*, it would really be quite impressive if it emerges that Bayern failed to make this simple step.

*In reality, it's almost definitely more than just a one-liner, but probably they use a template prepared by a lawyer and just fill in the name of the player and perhaps a couple more details.

I genuinely have lost interest in this and him. If he want to go to Bayern good for him as long as we get a decent price.

At the moment, it would be a lose-lose-lose for all three parties if an agreement fails to be met.

City can only truly win if Leroy extends his contract and pledges his allegiance but given that's unlikely to happen, the next best thing for City is to sell for as high a price as they can get from Bayern.

To me the issue isn't that they have done it, its the fact that they openly do it and they are never challenged for doing so hell the Jérôme Boateng transfer was exactly the same. I honestly think that they do this to intimidate clubs and wouldn't you know it was a German paper that ran all the leaks...... strange that....

With any luck the agent is right and there are a number of clubs interested, if that's the case I would take a major hit to send him somewhere else, ideally not in Germany, I would sooner send him to one of our Premier League rivals if it came to it.

Lmao, did you guys ever consider that without leroys consent you cannot transfer him anywhere else? And thanks to corona, I am pretty sure that no other club is currently able to offer him the same as Bayern does. Chapters closed, get over it guys
 
Sell him and tweak the system so the LB provides width instead, Sanés winger type is pretty much extinct in the modern game. Telles is apparently available for cheap. We could lineup something like this next season without Sané

I agree with selling him, but you assume that Bayern will be the only bidders, his agent is claiming that others are interested, clearly if others are interested too the goal will be to get the right deal for City, ideally one that also excludes Bayern(although I very much doubt their bid will be the highest)

Ah, well, you know, agents... I take their claims with a pinch of salt. Their interest is in pocketing money themselves, and they're ready to lie through their teeth to get their way. There simply isn't a better club than Bayern for Leroy to boost himself for EURO 2020 whilst being guaranteed a place at a club in with a decent shot of winning the Champions League. Unless some other club comes along and offers Leroy some crazy money, which is all the more implausible due to the current pandemic, I can't see him seriously considering elsewhere.

My prediction is that City and Bayern will agree on a fee around 48m euros for what would be Bayern's second highest transfer.

Man City are a better club than Bayern to boost him ready for the Euros. City had him in the form of his life prior to World Cup 2018 and ze Germans left him sitting on the beach.

Guardiola has a proven track record of bringing wingers on to the next level and improving them

Shame that Leroy is a mard arse and can't handle Guardiolas management style

48m euros unless the market has totally collapsed he will need to see out his contract, as for it being Bayern's second highest transfer, honestly who gives a fuck......it's also more than Darlington have ever paid for a player too.

You actually are also forgetting that City have this European ban hanging over them, until that's resolved the club will be paying premium for replacements, this transfer will drag on all summer and won't be resolved (if it is) right at the death, whenever that might be.

As I see it there is no goodwill between the clubs or between the player and City so it's not in the clubs interest for this to be concluded quickly.... The ONLY people that benefit are Bayern and ironically from a "fair play" angle taking the loss 12months from now might be better than getting cash now.

They aren't, it just highlights how corrupt the DFB is, that they'd be willing to do Munichs dirty work by leaving out a player who's had a good season in a far more competitive league.

Also, if Leroy is happy to go back and play in a team that beats pub teams 6-0 thirty weeks a year then he's never going to kick on to the next level
