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

[vmsuhail]

Or we keep negotiating the price up the more desperate they get ? We don’t need to sell.

We will and the saga continues through August, but now we know that either we'll get what he's worth or even better Sane stays and Bayern go into meltdown.

Leroy is a great talent that we all know oozes potential but has flaws some non-City PL fans don't see as he's a very MOTD ready player for his ability to do the spectacular.

I'm a huge Sane fan, but we know he can disappear, look disinterested, give the ball away from over-dribbling partially because he is very one footed and seems to matter (more than Bernardo, for example) & doesn't always track back like all other City players. I think Pep wants him to stay now as he's a pet project, and I do as well, but Leroy hasn't improved under his guidance as much as Raz or Kun who we can't forget appeared almost on his way out 2 seasons ago and stayed because he worked hard to improve getting him game time over the at the time preferred, Gabi.

There's A LOT of competition on the wings (Mahrez had a great summer + Raz did well on the left last season and might play there more, and Bernardo is best arguably on the right). This is confounded by the reality that he can only play on the left.

No announced fee = no sale possible. Now with a fee stated, massive as it is, we see that City/Pep are reluctantly willing to sell & for what fee. I really hope he stays, but if he doesn't show growth this season I believe Pep will let him go and City will push for Mbappe or perhaps try to bring back Sancho, who's also HG.

I think if we get 100m plus for him Pep and Txixi would be have a cheeky little grin between them.

How so? From reports they want 135 million for him. I suspect that’s what they value him at.

Wonder if the wages in the new contract we've offered him matches the price we want Bayern to pay.

Fantastic player, but obviously taking the piss not signing a new contract yet playing it coy. Just get rid, it's a team game and no matter how good he is he will drag the club down. Thanks for your input but clear off if you don't mind.

When was he legally obliged to have signed it by?

 

[rnblade]

I hope he signs an extension to his contract,if he doesn’t want to, I’d rather he was moved on. We don’t need a ‘Pogba’ attitude in the squad.
Let’s see what the first games do for him, if he’s not raring to go for us, we will see that in his attitude and subsequent dropping from the team. Pep isn’t a soft touch, you either want to learn and play and grow or you can leave.

When is the German transfer deadline

 

[Tanzeylee]

If we get offered anything above 70m for Sane we should bite their hands off!

Sane has shown flashes of potential but his record isn't all that great and for me, he hasn't improved enough to give confidence that he will come good, and he's been given enough time now.

Add to the mix his questionable mentality and general attitude i.e. he's the sulky kind... then I really think we should cash in while Bayern are interested.

Sniff

If he had an attitude problem or was any issue in the team he would be nowhere near it. Pep doesn't need to pander to Sane and would have told him to stay away until his move is sorted.

As it has turned out he has played in every pre season game. Looks fit and sharp and certainly not moping about to get his move.

He's been involved in plenty of CITYTV activities and so on.

He doesn't look that fussed about leaving, doesnt mean he will sign a new contract and be here forever but certainly doesn't look like he's gone on strike to move.
