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

[Jazzman]

Surely if you want to build a world wide brand it is better to play in the Premier League than in the Bundesliga.

He needs to build himself as a footballer, not a brand.

If he wants to become a brand, adios for me!

Most of the top players are a brand whether it's with clothing ranges and the like,i wouldn't say it's a bad thing,the top players are still top players on the pitch

Beckham wants to keep his fucking nose out
It's got fuck all to do with him.

As others have said Team Beckham knows a thing about Celebrity. If that's what Leroy wants he's a good go to.

I see Bayern and their rent a gob mob are still at it.

At least they have accepted Leroy will cost at least £100mill Euros. Let’s start there and come to a higher figure.

Multiply it by two and then we'll talk on our terms!!!

Disagree, if you want to get to the very top of your profession you don't build brands, at least not until your established.

Sane has all the tools to be one of the greats, but not sure if he has the desire.

I don't understand why he would want to leave City and Pep at his time. The best coach in the business and a great club.

He is young enough to get his move back to Germany in the future, or if he does build his brand, a perfect fit for Real Madrid.

PS Ask Neymar what playing in a inferior league does to your career.

And if that’s what Leroy wants, then it’s thank you and goodbye. No place for prima donnas here.

He is building a brand for himself and there is no-one better to ask than beckham and his team

Beckham was a bit unique in that field. Firstly he had lots of women and probably a few men swooning over his looks, then he married posh spice when they were the biggest girl band in the world. All this posh and Becks bollocks, golden balls, it was the perfect storm for them. Don't forget he played for the rag loving media and then Spain's equivalent in Real Madrid. Also he was a half decent player, not as good as the hype, but not bad. Leroy at the moment just comes across as a stroppy teenager. He needs to up his game, force his way into the team and start playing regularly. His problem is he has two better wingers innfront of him. When David Silva leaves and if Bernardo moves into his slot he may get his chance, if he is still here of course.

Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry on Leroy Sané: "We also get along well off the field. I would love to have him in my team [Bayern], he would be an asset."

There can't have been a current player,ex player and criminal gob who haven't waded in now,i think beckham will advise him to go to bayern and be the star as that is good for his brand,i'm braced to losing him now

This isn't directed specifically at you, but this post is a good example.

We need to stop being so fucking insecure about this. I would love for Leroy to stay, but if he doesn't want to sign a new deal he doesn't want to sign. We'll sell him, go sign some other super talented player, and move on. We just won four trophies and have the best manager in the world. Are we really going to get worked up about Bayern players talking to him at the lunch table? Come on. We all know deep down that if he was serious about signing a new deal none of this, and certainly not David fucking Beckham, would make a difference. Top players leave top teams for one reason or another all the time, and top teams just move on to the next one. If he wants to leave it's his loss and we'll move on too.

As others have said...he is very young ... enough time to build his brand at a later stage

Find it strange

He's waiting on Gazza, he's on his way he's just knocking up some butties and waiting for the off licence to open to pick up some cans.

Don't forget the pringles, the coke and the fishing rod you vial creature
