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

[kaz7]

I would be bringing the deadline forward to this weekend ( I know that probably won't happen) because if Leroy does go he will need replacing imo.

I think pep would go with what we have,a mistake i think as despite what the club say we'll get a ban next summer

I agree I think we will get a ban and with this in mind he needs to be replaced in this window.

He’s disliked in Germany

he isn't disliked in germany. him and ozil got some heat after their erdogan stint but gündo took it on the chin. ofc it wasn't received well but clubs would never consider not signing him because of it. bayern has a lot of depth in midfield though, especially if they sign the kid from espanyol but I could see him go back to dortmund. spain might also be an option.

Not the Gundo thread but I'd like him to extend - he can be our penalty taker!

Leroy Sane is not causing a fuss, he has said nowt, just like others who eventually signed.

Correct, the only "fuss" is from City fans with too little patience, and Bayern's thinking they can bully us.

Leroy is doing nothing wrong, and creating no fuss.

Can’t imagine having to deal with someone’s mum who has a clear agenda for her child with no impartiality whatsoever.
Must be a nightmare

If he wasn't silent we would know what to expect and rejoy or move on...

At the moment we are left hanging with a potential transfer to "Bullying München" that could set a precedent and alter the image of the club. And if doesn't sign this f-ing extension he can lower his value next summer or go for free later. I don't want to see an Adrien Rabiot scenario with Leroy and the club.

To be fair he isn't a child anymore, coming up for 24 and the next contract will cover his peak years, he needs to decide for himself what his best career choice is not let his agent whether it's his mum or not decide what's best.

No player in this position says anything,if he did it would only be i'm happy here but football can change blah blah,he is doing nothing wrong,he is getting stuck into pre-season and we'll find out more when they get back to Manchester

Ban or not, Txiki will be aware of anything and we simply must expect he is prepared in case Leroy really wants out.

The only name I could offer is Everton Soares, I think we have already checked his situation earlier this summer.
Not quite sure about him though.
Anyway, Txiki won't be surprised by anything for sure. He will have a short list with several options for any position.
