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

Yes, I was made privy to that information, in answer to your question.

He was also booked by the club to have his operation performed by Dr Ramon Cugat in Barcelona, essentially the club surgeon.

Thank you, that helps when reading your posts. Let's hope both Sane and City end up with a reasonable final outcome from both their perspectives.

A Champions League and FA Cup trophy, coupled with £60m should just about do it, eh!

premier league vs bundesliga league ?? its simple money is involved and forget this its germany and wants to go home its about money and wages

now this is simple do manchester city value him ? will he make the team better ? can manchester city match his demands ? simple something is not right here ? sane or pep. maybe they don't see eye to eye. we trust pep and if he does not think we are better team or sqaud with sane then let him leave for a market value but if its down to money and pep wants him to stay THEN WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO LEAVE

are city playing hardball here ? and not willing to offer him what he should be worth in the next 5 years to play for manchester city ? is it down to £10 to £20 million if it is then city pay up and keep him because the value will over ride his wage demands

Why does it have to be money?

There's a plethora of things which could make someone want to leave; money, lack of game time, trust, family & friends, doesn't like Manchester or the UK, career development opportunities... the list is endless. It doesn't matter if you, I or anyone else agrees or disagrees with his decision, whether we like it or not, if he wants to leave and fulfills the obligations of his original contract, he will have done absolutely nothing wrong.

Too right, mind you being greedy I would prefer a signed 5 year contract to the £60m but we can't always get what we want.

give over its down to money ? and if somebody else comes in for him like barca or madrid with a better offer you think munich would still be his choice. football and modern footballers is all about money and how much can you get at a early age ? its let's get it all right now because tomorrow you have know. they want to have it all at youth levels today and the big pay day is on the card ever 3 seasons

you are based on a greedy agent and he knows long term deals are bad for him. so starts a fire with little rumbles about his player not settled and does not like the city he is living at also the weather is cold all the time the people are bad tempered and ugly ??

its modern football sadly you will get players moving all the time because of money ? the agent is controlling them and getting more and more for both him and his player. forget all this home sickness and wants to go home that is bollocks he after more money and if everybody else is getting why not him. like i said do city value him long term ? will he win silverware and champions league for city ? will he be a top superstar and boost city image rights and bring in endorsements and have them coming out of his arse ? if you answer yes to all of them and give him what he wants more money

Which statistics or source of evidence are you referring to in order to make such a ridiculous sweeping generalisation of all young players and Sane as an individual?

He for sure tries to get the best deal he can get out of his next club - but that is normal.

But there is for sure other reasons, too. Bayern is building a team for the future with his buddies Gnabry, Kimmich, Goretzka (he grew up 5 kilometres away from him and went into the same school) and Süle as framework.

Here is a part of a Gnabry article in the player's tribune: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/e...portant-thing-in-life-serge-gnabry-bundesliga

So to be able to wear that red Bayern kit now, for real … it’s amazing. But remember, it’s not just me. I came up playing on youth teams with my boys Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Nicklas Süle. On top of that guys like David Alaba who really became a close friend. So sometimes when things are hard, and I need some motivation, I literally look around at those guys in the dressing room, and I think to myself, “Do you realize that you’re playing for the Bayern first team? You and your boys … you’re all really here. Do you actually realize it? S***, this is crazy.”


We all took different paths. But we all got to the other side of the corridor.

Sane would be no. 5!

come off it football is not a game anymore and its all about the money ?? why else are they busting a gut trying to get the premier league games played ?? all the other lower leagues have called it off weeks ago

players are greedy and not many in it for the love of a club or the sport anymore. am not saying i would not be doing the same if it was me ? we all would do the same thing. money is being thrown at the game and players there is that much money to be made and so little time to make it we would be daft not to jump on the bandwagon ? but like i said when a agent takes over your role and sorting out your living and getting 20% or more. you can bet a big and better offer on the table would be taken or made to take it

from what i have i have heard and read ? sane been offered double the wages if not more at munich ? so what am saying is modern football players would not think twice and jump ship its that simple. how did we sign sterling from liverpool we offered him more money that he was on at liverpool

What if his wife/girlfriend/mother of his child wants their child brought up in a German environment and schooling.

Is this about money now?

Said partner is 10 years his senior and likely to know her own mind and also has a child from a previous relationship, I don't know if that child lives in Germany or elsewhere tbh.

But just sometimes it isn't all about money.
