I think it started last Summer.
I can’t think of another reason why Germany wouldn’t take Leroy to the World Cup. He was one of the three best young players in Europe last season.
I reckon Löw is in on it with Hoeness and Rummenigge. They left him out of the WC, they sewed seeds about his “attitude”, he got unsettled, lost his place as an automatic starter at City (despite still being involved or instrumental in some of the biggest games for us this season) and then the plan will be for Bayern to come along, sort this made up “attitude” out and he’ll be bang in the Germany team hailed as one of the best in Europe and that there were problems at City when there weren’t...
What? You mean Low didn't take Sané to Russia to downgrade Leroy as a City player as part of a bigger plan to bring him to Bayern?
Nah. Low has picked his old buddies AND didn't want to kick out Brandt again AND senior players didn't like Leroy's attitude - like Low himself.
The same attitude Pep doesn't like. It's existent, it is.
Low hasn't much influence. He is in a quite weak position in the German public anyway,
and Leroy IS a certain Germany player from now on anyway. For City or for Bayern.
Maybe Leroy and his mum would prefer Germany, but only Bayern could afford him. He would have more offensive freedom at Bayern as they urgently need wingers after Robben and Ribery are out. More playing time guaranteed.
It's up to Leroy.
Hoeness said today the financial package for a Sané transfer is "difficult to realize".
Bayern will try to work on the threat getting Leroy cheaper next summer or on a free 2021.
But they need wingers now.
Bayern's sudden interest in
Rodri is only a desperate move to influence upcoming negotiations with Txiki,
as they are aware our weak point is DM.
We only would let Leroy go if we can sign a very strong replacement, whoever that is.
