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

[Dribble]

I do apologise I didn’t realise you were in contact with Leroy on a personal level with your mentality issues expertise.

Your apology is accepted.

I am fine with it as long as the fee is above £120m.

The way I look at it is that his sale means Foden gets more games.

A player with an equally high performance ceiling in my opinion.

I'd be amazed if Bayern pay our price because they need more players than Leroy. Their squad is very small. They already invested 80 million for Hernandez and 35 for Pavard. Add 145 for Lery and you'd have to wonder how they pay for the defensive mid and the centre forward they also need to get depth in their squad. On the other hand I am also not sure what their alternative to Leroy really would be. They are desperately thin on the wings.

Oh would you look at that it’s completed again. What is this, the fourth time now?

Yes it is quite interesting how Kicker and Süddeutsche Zeitung insists this deal is close. SZ is normally a serious newspaper.

It makes me sad to think I will hate Sane if he joins Munich, he was always loved / adored by the fans; Leroy please don't end up a snake playing for that horrible club

We’d be the ones doing business with Bayern, Sané has two years on his contract. It’s not like he’s running his contract down and leaving for Bayern at the end of it.

Bayern are a horrible club with hypocritical and underhand directors, but Leroy is a decent lad and been a cracking young player for us.

We could easily have said “he’s not for sale”.

Which, coincidentally is not a style of knickers you’d want to wear.

I am told...

Let’s start a one word post transfer saga series to make it happen. ;-)

Boss!

There’s

This would hurt more than when Shaun Wright Phillips left.

On the upside, we may the Net Spend Trophy. Very important in the age of social media.

I’ve been saying this since it all started. I’m going to be fucking gutted if he goes.

Wright-Phillips was an okay player in an average team. Yes, it was sad to see him go but we knew he was going to play for a better team even though he wasn’t particularly great.

Sané could end up being the best player in the world, to lose him while we’re currently the best team in the world, is very disheartening.

Going to ruin the start to the season for me.

Let’s hope he stays!

With Mourinho on board: yes.
With Pep on board: nope. -> "I want players who want to stay."

IF true Leroy wants to join them, an official BMU bid must follow.
We'll see.

This has the potential to sour an otherwise decent transfer window. I don't see any options for replacing him without reducing the quality of the squad.
