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

[Manchester1894]

Bayern can close the show here if they pay a big fee. They are loathed to do so, but I don't think it's unreasonable fee for a great player. There is also a player Pep loves in Kimmich... long way to go in this saga.

With 2yrs on his contract, Leroy has to be priced at that sort of money or City are being mugged.

Yup, it’s exactly what we wanted to see, you pay the going rate or fuck off... we only have to look at the Felix transfer to Madrid...

£135-£145 m. That seems about right imo.

Yeah really is time for them to shit or get off the pot.

Looks like we are learning from other selling clubs after all. Even though it hopefully wont happen often, it's good to know how to play the game.

Well done City, now we wait.

Not lickle old City any more, great to see we are standing upto Bayern. If you want Leroy show us the money, can't see Bayern paying anything like £130m

 

[Sergio<3]

Can't only be me that's not assed one bit if we sell Leroy? In Pep I trust

 

[Ajm1985]

Anyone else think we might end up with a Coutinho situation?

Demand €150m now, Bayern say no, think they can wait it out. Coman or Gnabry inevitably picks up a big injury, their season is in the balance. PSG and Madrid start thinking about a summer 2020 move.

January comes around and they bite the bullet.

Yeah I agree. It's seemingly as much a move to get Leroy to make up his mind, as it is to give Bayern a figure to aim for. And making the usual statement of 'there was nothing more we could do to get him to stay and it's a big fee', if he does go. If Bayern are in dire need, and haven't picked up an alternative, they will dip back
