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

[MarsLlama]

I'd never fucking heard of him before he got a thread on here.

With respect you must not follow much football outside of England then. He's been one of the top fullbacks in the world all season and starts regularly for one of the top clubs in the world too.

If we sell him we're fucking stupid.

He literally doesn’t want to be a City player.

£72m bid rejected apparantly. With the current market thats £40m short.

Everton, Spurs and Napoli could have made further efforts.

Are you high?

Why would he even accept a move to United?

Sanchez did.

Not the point though. Selling to Bayern sens the wrong message out because of how they have gone about it. Sometimes it’s worth taking a stand in the same way we walked away from the Sanchez deal.

How come they are so desperate to sell him?

Makes me worry! Haha

 

[Ban-jani]

If he goes he can fuck off the ****, if he stays then he’s a top guy.

That’s how it works isn’t it?

I’m not Leroy Sane.

Come on, I know you're fuming but what on earth would make Leroy choose United over Bayern. Can you honestly give five realistic reasons why any player would make that choice as both clubs stand now?

If Mahrez wasn't brought in a year ago Pep wouldn't think we don't need another winger.

So why did we need Mahrez then if this is the case if we are now top heavy with wide players? We are losing one of the best young players in the world.

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.

i disagree. bayern need to buy way more than we need to sell. we can literally hold out for 120m, do what italian clubs do, even when they Want to sell. which is stick to their valuation. if it were exactly the opposite, no way would bayern accept anything less than 120m.
