Sane or rather his agent/Mum is not in the best position to negotiate yet, that will be in 6/12 months time and I see this panning out like Sanchez leaving Arsenal.
Bayern won’t pay us £145M, even if they do he won’t get more money than we are offering (which this what this is about).
We either break our wage structure or let him go on a free, it’s that simple. Assuming he’s worth £200M in 2 years any buying club will save that on a free, which over a 5 year contract is 200M / 260 weeks = 770k a week. Him/his agent/his Mum know this and with his wage on top will easily get Sanchez wages.
I’m sure we’ll negotiate and warn the risk of a big injury or form issues impacting his next contract and offer to make him our highest paid player but this will have a knock on effect.
Right now it’s all posturing and the Sane camp using Bayern as leverage as far as I see, it’s just normal really.
Personally I’d tell him tell him he either signs now or is getting shipped out and get what we can. As good as I think he can be, he hasn’t shown the consistency to be our highest paid player.
