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

Nowhere near enough.

City would be mad to sell to Bayern.

To give him away for less than £120 million would be as stupid as giving Mangala an extension.

Imagine if somebody had said a few months ago you will give Sane to Bayern and extend the contract of Mangala.

This can’t be happening.

I bet Dortmund would demand more for Sancho. £90m just ain't enough.

Sancho doesn't have 2 years left on his deal nor has he 'decided' to move on. I have faith it'll be over 100, but that's the best we could do considering.

Well not so sure about that tbh

Haha, yeah that is a bit strong.

€20m a year is £350,000.

He's currently on £60k/week and the latest City offer was reported at £150k.


As long as they pay £100m then I think we can be OK with this, it's just annoying it's happened in August not June.

Disaster tbh

Sad to say, but he obviously wants to go home otherwise BM wouldn't have bothered making a bid. Like has been said, he never seemed to really bust a gut for us so maybe he would never become a 'pep' player anyway. Lets hope he becomes another Sturridge.

At the end of the day, when Dembele went to Barcelona for around 100 million euros plus add one, he was 20, had just had an incredible season with Dortmund, establishing himself as an undisputed star of the team, and Barca had 200m in their back pocket from the sale of Neymar.

Sane is 23, is playing at a higher level in a tougher league but is not a regular starter, and has only 2 years left on his contract. When Dortmund sold Dembele, he had only signed the season prior so had a long term contract.

Mbappe, when sold by Monaco, had 2 years left on his contract, just pike Sane. However, unlike Sane, he wouldn't have been able to move on a free at the end of his contract, instead Monaco would have been entitled to a small fee. Also, Mbappe was 18 and had just torn us, and Dortmund, apart in the Champions League. He cost PSG around 150m pounds.

Just thought I'd provide a little more context.

We may have a chance of winning the Net Spend Cup this year

This is worse than when we lost Pep to Juventus.

I know people want £120m-£150m for him but I felt earlier on that the range would be £80m-£90m from Bayern, so £91m... I really don’t think we could have expected more than that. He’s not signing a new deal and wants to leave. Plus Bayern are more frugal than the likes of Madrid, Barca, PSG etc. Of course we want more, but this is about the highest fee we can get for him. He only wants Bayern.
