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

[King Jay]

Such a “massive” reason he barely played in the run-in last year.

Yeah he was not loved by Pep. No matter what he did Pep didn‘t like it. Now we have Mahrez who won‘t track back all game.

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

Guttered to be honest, very special talent and great to watch but have to respect his decision to go back to Germany. Wish him all the best.

Dipper or Rag? Which are you?

I dont have an issue with Sane. We've been fortunate that players like Silva and Aguero have bought in to the club and stayed for the best years of their career, for whatever reason it hasn't worked out for him in the same way. I'm disappointed about it as out of all of our signings I believe he has the attributes to be that next level Ronaldo/Messi level player. Whether he has the mentality for that remains to be seen.

Bayern on the other hand can go fuck themselves. They've publically tapped Sane up for seasons, statements from senior figures etc from the club.

I hope City put out a statement wishing Sane all the best and thanking him for his contribution but 'express their disappointment' at Bayern's conduct. We're too much of a soft touch with things like this. Time to send out a strong message.

Hey, he's an excellent player and I would have been delighted if he'd stayed. Given all he's supposed to have said about leaving to win the CL, wouldn't it be ironic if we meet Bayern Munich in the Final and he watches City win from the stand?

 

[mancityscot]

just feel a huge sense of relief with this one. Always a bit gutting to lose a world class player (doesnt happen often with us), but it seemed inevitable for quite a while. Cant blame the guy for doubling his salary and wanting to move back to his homeland.

We just need to get in a good replacement now!

 

[Akpowell]

It'll be funny if he fails his medical

 

[Tb1981]

Fuck sane
I will have anyone who wants to play for city above him
If he wants to play for fc Hollywood in a farmers league the so be it
He can be a star
Don’t forget he couldn’t get in our team most weeks!!

 

[WestGorton]

It was 100m pre injury pre Covid and with 2 years left. Fair deal whether we like it or not and if he wants out see you later in my view.

 

[cleavers]

Anyway, he’s got to pass a medical yet!!

A good point being missed by many.

 

[Brendan110_0]

Get Sancho on the blower.

 

[manimanc]

We must have someone lined up for us to agree a fee with Bayern and let him go.

 

[jay_mcfc]

“Done”??

Yes, done. Go check out fees for other players with his abilities and stats coming into their prime.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

BBC are saying £44.7M with potential add on taking it to £54.8M with 10% sell on clause. I think prices of footballers has just decreased substantially.

Such a shame about his injury because we would have got so much more for him in the market as it was last August.
Good luck Leroy, I enjoyed watching you play for us.

Bayern would not have paid us what he was worth last summer
No way
The injury helped them really

 

[kaz7]

He knew last summer what he wanted to do . If he would have come out last summer and said “ no point with the new contract as I’m defo going “ we would have cashed in then. Think you’ll find Bayern would have made sure he got the price down by half

We will not know what was said,you are guessing at private conversations with the club,can't you just say thanks for the trophies and wish him well?there are many reason we are 'only 'getting £55 m

 

[alibenarbia83]

Selling Sancho for £8m, not replacing Kompany, spending over £100m on Cancelo and Rodri, selling Sane for £45m, has anyone thought to question Txiki Begiristain’s position?

 

[kaz7]

Yeah he was not loved by Pep. No matter what he did Pep didn‘t like it. Now we have Mahrez who won‘t track back all game.

Here is another one,can't you lot form yer own club

Only you.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Think with his small stature one good wallop and he'll be on the injury list again. Never reached his full potential with us,if he matures could be a star.
