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

Hopefully this means that the deal might be nearing a conclusion in terms of Bayern stumping up an acceptable amount.

We've known for a season where he's going and it's the first time Pep's spoken about it so candidly.

Just get the cash and move on.

It’s a real pity he didn’t go last summer when we could have gotten serious money for him. Instead we have had nothing out of him, paid his wages and now have to accept a knockdown fee.

I would not play him for the rest of the season now
Basically if Munich don’t stump up the cash he spends a year waiting for them
In that year he could get another injury in which case he has no contract or games
We all know they will up the bid and get him
It’s a huge risk for all parties though

Have we still got the Sane apologist out in full force?

+ He'll miss the Euros next summer (Which would be his second major competition missed)
+ He'll lose all performance related pay
+ His 'brand' will be damaged, which may decrease sponsorships

Could cost him millions.

Agreed, although it wouldn’t surprise me if Sane didn’t play another game between now and the Euros, signed a pre-contract with Bayern and still made the squad. The bias between FAs and the ‘Bayern’s and United’s’ of this world is clear to see.

Considering they were willing to pay around £80 million last summer and now won’t pay £50 million, it doesn’t really send the right message to the lad.

The moment Sane signs a long-term deal he instantly becomes a £100+ million player, so Bayern scrimping and saving on this deal doesn’t make sense.

City have firmly shoved the ball in Bayern’s court.

it is a mistake because this goes back a whole season and pep not playing him,whatever the problem was it should have been sorted ages ago

The situation was totally mismanaged, most here would hate to admit it but its good to know that there are still some here who can take off the blue tinted specs to see the truth. Sane has to take some of the blame, there;s no denying that but we can't just give the management a clean slate here as they also had a part to play in this shit show. Totally mismanaged!

We've all known he wants out for the last year or so..Interesting timing for Pep to come out with it so directly and vividly,he could've easily dodged the matter..Cleary was very deliberate in wanting it out there..Club stance to throw the ball in BM's court?
All in all,imo its at least 70 M € or he stays till next year as a fringe player

always on the cards, he is a prick, said it 18 months ago. To much like Sturridge and actually not as good as he thinks. He was a great super sub but wasn't good enough to be a starter. Its a shame we wont see if he could have been a good 'un but take the 50 mill.

 

[Bill Walker]

She is not right.
LeRoy lost form at the wrong time after being a regular.It happens and with Bernardo and Raheem on form he was going to get dropped.
He had chances to get his form back but for some reason it did not happen.
At the crucial point of the season he was our biggest disappointment.Pep had no other option not to start him.

Don't agree.

If we only look at it from the football perspective I just Don't see why he would go to Bayern... imagine if he can't replicate his form from the last 2 seasons.. The Bayern board, Bayern fans and German media will slaughter him.. after just 2 bad games! It's insane!
