That's why I used "if": I'm not sure either if Pep is that desperate but City also have to think longer term than just the remainder of Pep's contract. Leroy's ability is there for all to see; he's a rare talent and I would not want to see him leave over money.

I hope he stays too, and agree that the money issue should not be his prime concern, as if he listens and improves whilst Pep is here, the top money will follow.

PS I missed the " if " in your post - dooh !

I think his presence in the travelling party is a strong indication he is going to stay, because he's clearly not expressed a desire to leave, and it's the 3rd August 2019. Granted the German window does not shut for some time, but if I were him I'd have wanted this sorted months ago if I wanted to leave, and he clearly has shown considerably less desire to move than his agent.

Speculation will continue, but you have to think he's staying now.

If bayern want him, they are going to have to make a huge offer to City.

Over to you Bayern. Put up or shut up, and do it quick, because after 3 months of farce the clock is ticking on your transfer operation. Go and get Dembele. Or Bale.

Bale is their most likely option in my opinion. And one I don't like because it will leave open the Sane option in 12 months time.

If Leroy stays it gives us a chance to agree a contact but if he won't sign he's off next Summer regardless.

Leroy and Pep don't seem to see eye to eye when it comes to football, hence the constant instruction when he's on the pitch, "if you hate me then hate me" dressing room comment, and obviously benching him so often in the latter half of last season.

So when Arteta or someone else who shares Pep's way of playing comes in, he's likely not going to see eye to eye with them either.

I think if that amount of money is being requested then bayern wouldn't be happy him playing in a glorified friendly if they are serious about buying him,i would think if sane is wanting to leave he wouldn't want the risk as well

Pep won't take it as a glorified friendly. The animosity between us and Liverpool has quite grown over the last year and Pep will treat it as a serious game which we want to win very much. Still think that if Sane plays tomorrow this won't mean that he is guaranteed to stay. The ball is in Bayern's hands: they should pay 135m which I doubt they will do. But if they do it on the last day of the window, the transfer might still happen.

Both bayern and sane won't feel it's a very important game,anyway we'll know if he is playing about 1.30pm tomorrow

No-one has his skillset we would be playing differently with anyone else there,when we need to counter attack his speed and dribbling would be sorely missed

Gabby has every bit of the dribbling skills Sané has (if not more, actually) and is no slouch in the pace department. And he is far more tenacious in press/defence.

I don’t want Sané to go, personally, but I don’t think we are going to skip a beat if he does.

Gabby will likely go on to play, create, and score even more than last season.
