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

Tixiki want to get him in his office and ask him straight, do you want to stay or do you want to leave, if he wants to stay all well and good,
if he wants to leave Tixiki should tell him that we will informing clubs of your availability for transfer.

Because of course, we can force him to sign for a club he doesn't want to go to

Yes,but equally Leroy can't force us to sell him to the club he wants to join.
The point of informing clubs of his availability is to ensure maximum transfer value if he does go.
If other clubs were prepared to shell out 120m,Bayern won't get away with a low ball 80m

Except he could go for nothing in due course. To the club of his choice.

Absolutely, but then we hold on to him for another season,I could live with that.

Would other clubs bid if they know he only wants Bayern Munich though?

Maybe not,although I'm not aware of him publicly saying anything about joining Bayern.
While we're not in the strongest of positions,if Bayern want him now they know we won't be bullied into selling without a sizeable fee.

He's a lot closer to staying than he was two months ago, put it that way.

Have you heard anything on the Sancho rumours Tolm?

 

[RACHACE]

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.He`s a fucking mard arse and always shows he`s not up to being part of a team.Mature my arse thats the last thing he shows.I like the lad as a player but I wont be arsed if he stays or goes.
He`s not setting his heights well enough if he wants to sign for a team who are in free fall.The new Rags and Gooners are that team.

Sorry but that's just pure nonsense.

Bayern are still pushing/leaking this line for good reason.

Leroy is having major second thoughts and we have gone back with an improved offer.

His agent is poor , leaking that information. It should have been kept between club and agent.

If club leaked it , then also very poor, and unusual.

I wonder why he is having second thoughts?

Well I'll take that as good news on a rainy winter night. Thought he was gone, but good to remind ourselves that he's still a city player and a one in a million talent who can be a pleasure to watch. If there's a chance of seeing him play on our shirt again, even realise his potential further at city, I'm all in.

Pep himself has said that in certain situations there is no better player in the world than Leroy. I don't think we could even replace him like for like, and I still hope we won't have to even contemplate it further.

He's also only just reaching this potential. The way he had TAA on toast time after time before his injury was evidence of that.
