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

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

He has a giant tattoo of himself covering his entire back. That takes a fairly large ego.

Apart from that, obviously......

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Is it? Seems pretty similar to me, 45% over 280k.

It is very prohibitive. I've set up a business over there and the UK is a far better place for TAX for the employees there's all kinds of deductions made not just income tax

for city to sell sane to munich would be a sin at any cost, but if the player is not happy and wants a move then city should slap a £200 million fee on him and don't back down

why is it i feel other takes the piss when it comes to man city and its add £20million to any transfer fee if city want, and if its a city player moving then its take £20million off the fee others are willing to pay ?? enough is enough manchester city should take no more shit on transfers in or out, and if munich want him that bad then never back down and make them pay

look at other top draw young players moving and the fee's they are getting ?? then sane must be worth every penny of £200million to munich shirt sales media rights with 10 years in the game still to come, if sane stays at city and wins a couple of champions league titles then it would make city over £200 milion and if he was the star player then even more

so munich if you want him and the player wants to move then pay up or shut up

You can be absolutely assured that the City board and Txiki are well aware of what they are doing.
You seem to be a little impatient and angry, feeling that City is bullied on transfer fees.

Looking at our finances, our squad, our success obviously our way of managing the club is top notch.
Txiki doesn't need to slam an unrealistic prize tag on any player.
We want to convince special players out there to come and stay and join our way.

And you forgot that one: players who don't want to stay are allowed to leave. Any player. Leroy as well.
Our philosophy requests full commitment.

spot on.

To be fair to him, Sane has never ever done anything that I have noticed that would indicate that he is "all about ego"

Getting a huge tattoo of himself scoring a goal on his own back? :D

 

[TonyM]

Must strain his back something awful looking at that tattoo.

 

[Gordyola]

His mum certainly wants him back home I think.

I was meant his partner and their baby His partner is American so I guess she is more comfortable in England

 

[kaz7]

Come on Candice

 

[ChicagoBlue]

You don't negotiate a good deal by saying you want to stay.

Pitty for him as he is already at City, otherwise he could agree a deal with city to push his wages up at another club, as city fall for it every time like with Sanchez back to his Udinese days.

That’s patently false.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

If he is asking for an 'unwordly' sum in order to lever a move to Munich I cannot see Bayern paying an 'unworldly' sum each week. His family might be happier living in the 'Fatherland' but if it's money that's the stumbling block I call it bullscheissen'!

The word is “otherworldly,” and a contract elsewhere doesn’t have to be the same as the ask here. Different clubs, different structures and possibly even completely different reasons for wanting £X here and accepting €Y there.
