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

[Easy]

could be ....but they are in desperate need and have the money + he is German and young

this is a critical summer for Sane . Either

1- He is sold - hopefully for big money

2- or he extends his contract

" they'll wait for his contract to run down "- don't think Txiki / Khaldoon will allow this.

Like you said Bayern are desperate. Robben and Ribery are finished. Muller also finished. Coman always injured, and Gnabry is average. Lewandowski is 31 in the summer.

This where we should play hard ball. A minimum of £120m for him if not let Bayern wait and go backwards even more. They paid 80m for Hernandez ffs

I’m sure they’ll be more clubs interested even at that price.

Regardless of his anti-city/ pep bias , he has been good with City's transfer and from what i have heard works for Mendez in some capacity - with Mendez being Felix's agent

From the article

Begiristian is concerned enough to have told friends that he may be forced to sell this summer. The calculation is relatively simple - if it becomes clear that Sane’s valuation of himself in terms of demands for salary and greater playing time are too great to be met, City should cash in on the player while they have two years’ of contract with which to secure the highest transfer fee.

The takings from a sale - and in the current market for young, elite forwards these would be substantial - will be invested in a replacement. Prominent amongst the candidates Begiristain is working on is Benfica’s teenage forward Joao Felix.

No he hasn't. I embarrassed him real good on Twitter about his many lies regarding bollocks transfers stories years back in the Mancini days and he got really embarrassed and wanted to cry about it over DM...ended up blocking me..

He’ll extend this summer or he’ll be sold.

Would be a shame, but the show would go on.

With potential transfer ban, he has to extend soon, if not, then we have to take the initiative and replace him. We are probably already doing that considering our pursuit of Felix sadly. Though if Leroy signs new deal i don't think we would cancel that transfer, then I think Jesus or Mahrez would go.

There has to be solution to this in the next couple of weeks.

Sane's game is based around attacking the space in behind the defence. There was no space in behind Burnley.

1st half, every ball out to him was bloody awful.

Sane is a future Ballon D’or winner we have got to keep this kid at all costs! There just isn’t anybody else out there to replace him with

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Again I expect No progress to be announced until the summer. Fucking crazy to talk about contacts right now.

He’s a great player but isn’t anyway near a future ballon dor winner

For one he needs to work on his right foot to give him an option when people show him the inside, that’s what has limited him this season as he ends up running into bodies on the edge of area ending in a weak shot or losing the ball

Sterling and Bernardo can both go either way with good end product , that’s one of the reasons they are in the team ahead of Sané and Mahrez

They'll be absolute fools if they sell him

 

[Neville Kneville]

They'll be absolute fools if they sell him

Not if he won't sign though, no choice then.

Hopefully he will sign.

I can't think of many players I would least like to see, running at our defence, two years from now.
