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

[MadchesterCity]

Hopefully Bayern now pay over the the odds to recruit Jadon Sancho. City would then get a sell-on windfall which we can use to offer Leroy a bumper new contract.

We found an optimist

No it isn't.

"Leroy will have surgery in the coming week."

No mention of reconstruction surgery, which is why i asked if there are any other surgical options for a damaged ACL.

Surgery = ACL reconstruction. For athletes a reconstruction will always be the choice as studies currently estimate that 90% of patients will be returning to pre-injury levels of ability. Any other surgery would be useless, for someone who aspires to continue a high activity level.

Now the nervous wait to see exactly how badly damaged it is. Could be 4 or 5 months, or it could be the entire season. Get well soon.

Ben, offering his advice from a position of experience.

I have also been in Leroy’s position, twice... it is a long road but he’ll have the best medical care on the planet, so his knee will definitely be in better shape than mine when recovery is complete.

Genuinely saddening. Such an amazing talent to watch, hopefully he can come back stronger from this.

Gutted for the lad. Don’t it twice in same knee. Obviously they have better care than I got but it’s a horrible amount of rehab. Really hope it doesn’t affect his pace. Also that ability to change direction. I think Arjen Robben did his and made a full recovery didn’t he? He came back at the same level as well. I love Leroy and hope he recovers and realised what a great club he is at and wants to stay. Sounds awful but hope that little twat who tripped him and caused the injury, which I’m sure he didn’t intend but nonetheless caused, gets a bit of pay back, not a career threatening injury like this mind. Can imagine Klopp praising him for it.

Haha i love being called delusional,i'm more sensible than most of you

Have you smashed all the mirrors again ;-)

You’ve been on the BBC Transfer Window website today, haven’t you?! ;-)

I was there many, many moons ago, when Adamson took me with him from Sunderland!

If 1980 is your birth year, then it was about when you were born! ;-)

1980 is when I was 8 and chose my football team (I asked my dad who he supported and went with that!). Fair dos to you mate, I often wonder how many ex pros are on here.

A real shame,but we hopefully get a incredibly fired up and motivated player(with a fresh 5 yr contact) for our title run in and trophy assault.
