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

[sir baconface]

I think people are reading far too much into it...l

... Yet people have been saying David Silva isn’t playing well and is on his way out at the top level and people see problems between Leroy and Pep.

Key difference: Dave is picked at almost every opportunity. Leroy isn’t. That’s why people put two and two together.

That said, I hope we are able to reconcile all positions and hang on to an important asset. He’s worth more to us IMO than his market transfer value.

They'll be absolute fools if they sell him

Even bigger fools if he leaves for free!

 

[cleavers]

Like you said Bayern are desperate.

As desperate as they might be, they won't pay £100m to City.

He’s told friends, has he?

F*ck the CL, let's have a real go at the net-spend trophy next season!

So Txiki has told Mendes that the price for Felix is prohibitive and now Mendes is trying to find a "solution....."

While Raheem has had more influence on matches I think Leroy will go on to be a world star. Just think he has more natural ability. Certainly Raheem has worked harder and improved more.

Would hate to see him leave.

Maybe he should emulate Raheems work ethic and he will become the world star.

I love him by the way and will be gutted if we let him go.

I despise the idea of losing blisteringly pacy players that have skill and a shot.

They are fucking rare.

 

[Metalartin]

I hope this is not true but maybe that's why Pep hasn't been playing him and opted for players who have committed long term to this team.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

In that case Gundogan wouldn't be playing either

 

[Jumanji]

Boateng left us partly because he felt he wouldn't get game time for Germany playing for City. Maybe Leroy feels the same way. God knows the powers that be in German football already hate us and are whispering in his Leroy's ear.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Will be a massive blow if Leroy decides to move on , but he would walk into any side in europe and you can understand his frustration at not getting the games he would like , we will only see the very best of Leroy when he gets a run of game and he is then unplayable , but Pep's squad rotation is why we are competing for three trophies. Would rather Mahrez was shown the door but that still does not put Leroy in the 1st eleven ahead of Bernardo and Sterling , but if we are playing 50-60 games a season he should get minimum of 30 starts for one of the top teams in europe. Only Barca , Juve , Real and Bayern could be considered a worthwhile move for him , but knowing the attitude of the average football agent he could be pushed into a transfer , but really hope this doesnt materialise

Doubt it's that. He has been starting for Germany in last few games after low decided to bin out many of the older generation players

He's playing Gundogan

 

[rnblade]

The longer this drags on, the more worried I think he’ll go.

 

[SamBlue]

Knowing our transfer policy since takeover, Sane will leave if he wants to leave, or he will stay if he wants to stay.

 

[Metalartin]

He's playing Gundogan

Yeah that's true but it does remind me how he dealt with Sancho, so there could still be something to it.

They are different players, different positions, different priority level for the future of the team. Although we'd like to keep Gundo, given his age you could forgive him for wanting to move for more playing time and at a club that will give him more responsibility as one of their main stars.

As I said, hope it's not the case as Sané is a special player, even our rivals see his potential.
