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

[Chi-town blues]

My love and respect for Raza and Bernie just went up a notch .

Yeah but if we give him huge boost to his wages. whos to say agent of another player won't notice this and ask for huge increase like that too? Also Leroy's mother in the next contract negotiations could ask for another huge increase given we did it the first time. This also has to be factored in.

For the purposes of other players it doesn't matter what his old wage was, it matters that the new one fits within the structure. Sterling isn't going to ask for more because we tripled Sane, he still makes more. If you all of a sudden made him the top earner out of nowhere then you'd probably have some issues, but 180k wouldn't be that close.

How come there is nothing in the British press about this, there all journalists out there who can’t wait to put negative news out about city,

Leroy should be one of our top earners if Pep is desperate to keep him.

Of course he is on the train.

So if he goes who comes in ?

Surely the club have a replacement ready with the clock ticking.

We should take bale on loan for a season on £250,000 a week wages.

If he doesnt play tomorrow I don't think it guarantees a move is happening, but it should mean either Sane has asked for it or City are happy to sell for the price they've demanded.

His involvement this weekend, and his presence amongst the City party is a far better indicator than media speculation which is designed purely for interest.
