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

I thought kovac was only hanging on to his job by the skin of his teeth, is all this just him playing to the fans against the munich mafia to get him some Young top class players.??

Jose waiting in the wings I suspect

Pesky Germans.Would Boateng be the last player to leave that we might have kept.Always got the feeling that he used us to get to Munich.As Dortmund would not sell him to Bayern in the first place.

Tevez maybe?

Not sure where this "good relationship" with ourselves is coming from , Rummenigge and Hoeness have done nothing but make derogatory comments about our club since we became a threat to them ,he was a cheating diving tw*t when he was a player and now he's a two faced prick as a CEO , i could get used to the idea of Sane leaving our club for PSG , Juventus , Milan etc., but going to play for the German Rags after their recent behaviour absolutely not.

It probably comes from current negotiations. At least that's what it sounds like.

So want this to be the case. Bayern want this so bad they are falling out with themselves.

For what it's worth Duncan Castles' latest take on the situation was

Bayern want him and hope he'll be their poster boy and will build team around him.

They have allocated €80m for the Transfer Fee.

City can't fit him into the team as a regular starter as Sterling/Bernardo are more consistent and we have Mahrez/Foden/Gabriel waiting to get extra gametime this season.

City very aware that they will probably get a smaller fee/no fee if they hold onto him unless another bidder enters the race.

City have received a bid from Bayern but was about 20m short of agreeable figure.

Sane not sure whether to stay or go.
Likes the club/fans/location but money and fame will be greater in Munich.


That's where Castles thinks the situation is at the moment.
If he's near the mark then (IMO)
In order to break the stalemate either Bayern stumps up the extra cash and City will help them to persuade Leroy that he's better off moving
or
Leroy may decide to give it a good go at City, sign the contract or renegotiate an improved version of it
or
It gets put on the back burner for a few months and the whole thing resumes with new rules.

A chess game if ever there was one with any conclusion possible.

There haven’t been any negotiations

If anything has been discussed at all it’s only been between the German rags and Sane’s reps

That'd be nice. Christ knows what's going on, if anything.

I hope you're right but you don't know that for a fact.

Sky reporting, "Sky Sports News understands that Manchester City are not prepared to sell the 23-year-old and have not received a bid for him."

Does this suggest that Sane wants to leave though? As much as I want him to stay, I don't want one bad apple to spoil the rest of the bunch. Ideally, Peps talk him was more reassuring and confident boosting..one can only hope at least
