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

[RandomJ]

He can sign a pre-contract with another club in January if I’m not mistaken. Try and get £50 million for him if we can in the summer and move on.

he wants away and a new adventure,good luck to him. finding a replacement of equal or better quality is more important now. Sancho for me please.

Think Leroy was similarly playing on the right at that age at Schalke although I could be wrong.

Sané was almost exclusively on the right until he got here. He actually started on the right here as well until Nolito really fell out of favour.

The only thing that annoys me about all this is that Bayern have been allowed to act with impunity and conduct a public, open and unashamed tapping up of another clubs player.

 

[Tevez City]

I would not ‘slag’ him off as he is one of the most exciting players to watch ‘on his day’. That’s the issue though. I loved watching him play and grateful for his contribution. However, Raz is far the superior player, passion, work rate and always gives a 100%. I would be a lot more worried about losing Raz. Leroy is replaceable, and he has decided his future lies elsewhere. Not sure Pep ever really trusted him like he does Raz. Thanks for the memories Leroy and grateful for all you contributed, but hope we take the money this summer.

Sane > Sterling

He was never signing a new contract. Fuck him, if he doesn't want to be here then get whatever the best price we can and move on.
We only want players in our squad who've bought 100% into what we are trying to achieve.
Leroy never really struck me as somebody who did that, which is a shame because he could have become a worldbeater under Pep.

Agree.

I honestly thought hed be our equivalent of the fake Ronaldo at the rags peak.

Didn’t see that coming

Sane > Sterling

They're both absolutely fantastic talents. They both possess skillsets that are almost unique to them individually. There's no objective way of saying one is truly better than the other.

Pep’s hit the nail on the head really with his statement, pay up this summer what we want or he will stay till the end of next season and leave on a free whereby Bayern won’t then be the only club in for him. Big gamble here for Bayern do they pay up or take the chance that they could eventually be priced out at the end of his contract by another big club. Also Sane may have to put pressure on Bayern to pay up this summer or potentially miss out on the Euro’s next season as he may be played very sparingly by City for the remainder of this season and next and with that will they know whether he has recovered properly from his knee injury.

Sane > Sterling

No.
