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

[balotelli's back pocket]

I don't know. City have clearly had words with them, why the backtracking? If we weren't prepared to sell to them then why would they talk and talk and talk all summer and then suddenly apologize? Could we have told them there is a deal to be done and they are playing nice?

DS perhaps.

DS perhaps.

There are plenty of reasons for is to have told them to STFU, but the question is why now?

i messaged leroy a few months ago on twitter. i'm pretty sure he got it and that's exactly why there has been no movement.

We will never know that one but my guess is Pep got annoyed.

Manager and CEO of Bayern seemingly being at odds with each other on this hopefully bodes well for us. Certainly feels like City have clipped Bayern’s wings a bit.

Ironic after Rummenige suggesting last week maybe Pep isn't aware of what's going on in the background at City

What I can’t get is ... City want 100m+ this window but BMu only offering 80m- ... yet the story is that we are afraid of his price dropping by next summer???

Wouldn’t it drop to about 70% of what it is now??? So not too far from what we’d get if we sold now.

Better to hold on to him if that’s the only reason. Another club will outbid BMu next season. Or in the meantime we’ll have him on an extended contract.

In your bowels?

What is clear is that there has been dialogue.

Looking at today we have clipped their wings and briefed to the media that he isn’t for sale at any price.

Bayern have been very public about this and I just think we have seen our arse today. Its a warning shot. Play nicely or we don’t play at all.

Like I said earlier, I think he is going. I just think after today it will play out much quieter.

All that American cheese.
